Piecing together an Akebono Kit
So I have looked around at a few kits which were put together by some companies. None the less, I cannot say that they are offering exactly what I am looking for. I don't need SS lines and I don't like the single piece rotors and I also like to have a choice of pads. I looked around at putting together my own kit and figured I would post to see what I am missing as well as give others that are looking to do the same, some ideas. Here is what I have found. Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Calipers: $511.56 (http://www.courtesyparts.com/kb_sear...8724_8808_8809)
Adapters: $225 (http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=5332)
washers: $9.96 (http://www.courtesyparts.com/41044a-...-p-637313.html)
Bolts: $6.62 (http://www.courtesyparts.com/41000a-...-z34-2009-2011)
Hardware kit: $101.80 (http://www.courtesyparts.com/41080k-...724_8808_8809&)
1 piece Rotors: $198 (various kinds)
2 piece rotors:$495.54 (various)
Pads: $95 (stoptech)

That is what i did, but i ended up selling it before putting it on cause of the 29lb rotors and bad wheel selection.
The only thing your missing is the pins and the clips.

Personally, i said to hell with courtesy and started asking some of the sites vendors for some of the small stuff
I got Hawk HP+ pads
For the hardware kit and pins i think it was Z1 motorsports or CZP. Alot cheeper then courtesy.
For the clips i went to ace. 7.07 X 8 vs .13 a piece... yeah... no brainer.
All the caliper bolts you need, should already be there or with the brackets if you get them from Z1
PM me if you need any other info

I kinda have to agree with him here. If not the Wilwood kits then at least working with a current supplier who's done the work makes for a simple install and such. Just the shipping alone bringing in a half dozen different suppliers could well offset any price gains. Sure, you'll need new ss hoses with the Wilwoods....they're included..and so what? Bag $20 and some help off a buddy for helping install the new parts.
Want to go a bit out of the box?
