Default ebay akebono brake brackets?

Has anyone had experience with this item? http://www.ebay.com/itm/350Z-G35-BRAKE-UPGRADE-G37-370Z-AKEBONO-BIG-CALIPER-FRONT-ADAPTER-BRACKET-/271195434891?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A350Z&hash=item3f2481ef8b&vxp=mtr
did it work well?

On the picture it says "for 350z must use akebono brembo rotor" is this the same as the OEM rotor for the akebono's?

22 sold and not a single negative review. I would contact one of the buyers on ebay for their opinion. I've done so in the past before purchasing a questionable item.

Good idea

Although I would just buy the Concept Z brackets for $195 anyway and be able to know that they would stand behind their products rather than a random ebay seller who won't be around in a year if something goes wrong

There have been one or two negative reviews of brackets sourced from eBay on this forum. Whether or not they're the same as the ones linked above, I couldn't say.

Contacted about 5 of the buyers. If one of them gets back to me i'll let you know what they say.

I bought my brackets from an eBay seller.. Paid more than this, I believe around 160, mine were perfect and have had NO issues at all.. Good luck!
