Upgrading to Akebonos? Suggestions

conor1123 · 03-23-2015, 01:58 AM

Hey guys, been searching around on the forums a bit and couldn't seem to find exactly what I wanted. I've have been looking into upgrading to the Akebonos for a while now and had a few questions. Recently i've been doing a lot more canyon driving and will begin to do some track/autox events. Do you think this will be an upgrade worth spending my money on or should I wait for a BBK later? Keep in mind I may have a FI TT kit installed in a few years possibly.

How many of you guys are running a TT setup with Akebonos and is there a problem with that?

If I do end up going with the Akebonos what do I need to worry about besides the dust shields? I currently have the Z1 SS lines that fit both the sport and non sport models. I found a set of red calipers for $1050 shipped, is that too expensive?

I know, I should have got the sports package in the first place!

-Thanks, Conor
