Akebonos not up to heavy track use!

Interesting thread. Somehow I missed it earlier. I am surprised that the Akebonos aren't holding up as good as the Brembos on the 350Z did under heavy use. On paper

Interesting thread. Somehow I missed it earlier. I am surprised that the Akebonos aren't holding up as good as the Brembos on the 350Z did under heavy use. On paper they seem like good brakes. I am also surprised to hear that the pad surface is smaller than the 350Z Brembos.

The brakes on my 03 350Z Touring were not very good. Maybe I should have opted for the Track model. That's why I replaced them with StopTechs. Love the StopTechs.
