Default Akebono Kit

UPDATE: Selling - No need for swap parts - asking 1100 - want to sell ASAP, highly motivated

Looking for someone within driving distance of Spartanburg, SC that wants to upgrade from their stock brakes to an Akebono BBK all around with stainless lines. If you want a turn-key trade (I swap everything out, new brake fluid, flush & bleed) - asking $1350 plus your stock equipment. If you just want to swap out our equipment (calipers, pads, rotors, and lines) - asking $1100 plus your stock equipment. If you are a card carrying member of Carolina Z Club, Palmetto Z Club, Upstate Z Club, or have your Voluntold shirt from ZDayz 2013 - contact me about additional discounts. If you'd rather have Bobby Young and his pros at CIN Motorsports install these for you - contact me and we'll get it all figured out.

This kit made an unbelievable difference in eliminating my previous issues with brake fade on long, aggressive, curve-laden drives (Tail of the Dragon, etc) - completely different experience from stock. I'll listen to reasonable offers and also need the following oem items if you have to trade: wheels, y pipe, Chrome silver front bumper, shocks/struts, ash tray, bump stops, rear camber/traction arms, front a arms, undertray, non bose radio, door speakers, antenna. Thanks

Yup. I've been taking off a lot of stuff. I want to try and get the brakes and maybe suspension back to stock and try first to sell with the graphics and cf hood, etc. It gets a ton of attention from local folks, andit is going to be priced really reasonable, so I hope that it will sell quickly like that. If not, I'll remove graphics, in dash monitor, stereo, etc and make it 100 percent stock, then let Carmax pay me their fair purchase price. I just don't know anyone willing to buy the car already peeped with suspension, brakes, etc. So I'm parting out first.

And we need to do beers for sure. I need to catch up with Josh and get him the money for his stock suspension items. I'll try calling him tomorrow.

Yeah. I've been laid up in bed sick since Tuesday, Josh. They have me on the hydrocodone cough syrup, and it knocks me out. Hoping the medicines will help me avoid another medical procedure.

I'm available pretty much any time today through Monday. Patrick swung by last night and picked up the gopro. All of my toys will be going up on the auction block.

Okay. Car is going to CIN Motorsports in the morning so they can remove the kit. It is now up for sale andI don't need swap parts. Looking to wrap up a deal by next weekend. Have an offer at this point, but it is a bit low. I may end up putting it on eBay as an auction if no one here is interested.

Nissan Graphite. Stoptech Slotted.

I've attached a picture from before they went on the car. I'll take new pics later this week once CIN has them off of the car.

I believe the kit is sold. I'm expecting payment tomorrow. I'll lock it up once payment clears.
