Those are gonna be pricey, Stoptech ones should be somewhat reasonable w/ the same quality.

I'll just stick with my slotted stoptechs for now, hopefully wont need rotors for a LONGGGGG time, and if I do eventually need new ones, then I can look into whatever is available at the time. the one piece slotted will suffice for me for now.

By then, they are going to be so many, the price will drop

Were you ever able to find anything out for me on this. Its kinda hard watching all the 350Z guys have fun with this. I STILL would love to be the first, maybe the first, to fit these on an Altima.

Coz, got my set in last Friday. I still haven't had a chance to play with them on my car. But I've taken everything out of the boxes and it looks like a little kid on christmas morning found some brakes under the tree hahahaha Im about to go test fit everything right now. Then decide what color I should paint them. I was thinking white.

I kindda doubt the quality on those...."racing brake" never heard much about them and their reputation.

Those 2 piece rotor cost quite a bit, at $400 a piece it's gonna be $1600 for the whole set!!

Who are you that everyone should doubt the quality of their product b/c you "never heard much about them and their reputation?" No offense, just don't know why you would be qualified to say something like that unless you were Rhys Millen or something.

Agreed on price...big ballers need only apply.

I dont meant for this to be offensive, but for such a high price bracket I though that it would be in same bracket as Brembo, Endless, AP, etc. But apparently their exposure isn't as much as the other brands.

Also, if I am paying such a hefty price on something like this, I has the right to question the reputation of the company and the product. There are sh!tty company out there that sell sh!tty product at a hefty price.

is the OEM 03-05 master cylinder sufficient to power these brakes without the pedal getting soft?

will '07 G35 rotors work with these?

I know these questions were asked earlier in the thread but there didn't seem to be a direct answer to either one.

Master Cylinder works just fine, Modified Magazine Driver said the Balance of the AKebono Kit felt better then the Original Brake System on a 08 350Z. So we've already concluded the Master is more then sufficient.

07+ G35 Sedan, and 08+ G37 Coupe on the Sport Models all use the same 14" Rotors, and that is what we are using for all the Akebono Kits as well.
