Budget Akebono kit

Ramathorn · 08-18-2017, 10:47 AM

I actually just ordered some rebuilt calipers and was gonna make a new thread until i found this one. If anyone is contemplating doing this install you should look into powerstop brakes. I was able to pick up a set of rebuilt calipers, pads, rotors, and new brake lines from rockauto (always search for a discount code first) for a little over 700 shipped. I have yet to install these due to i am still waiting on the akebono decals to show up. But i reached out to powerstop prior to ordering, and they said they will accept my old non-sport calipers as a partial core refund. If everything works out this upgrade can be done for under 700 including the paint for the calipers and new brake fluid.

I scored my rear calipers for 100 bucks each, benefits of working at napa. that included the $15 dollar core on each too. the left front I got from Ebay for $175 with core. BUT, that freaking right front I had to pay full retail lol I couldn't find it anywhere, and on ebay the G37 caliper was cheaper, not by much, but it was cheaper then the 370z caliper. so I saved some dough. I haven't installed mine yet. but need to get my G2 caliper kit and get on it.
