problem with floatin rotors and akebono
Hello, i tried to install a two piece rotors for the akebonos, but i have a damn problem with them,. the center cap hits the caliper and i can't even bolt 1 bolt of 2... i think it hits by 10mm from the lower section of the caliper.
What do you think? any solution to this? what if i shave 10mm the lower side of caliper? so i can clear the space? as you can see, i marked with a white line where the center cap would end in the oem rotor, and some pictures more about the issue Last edited by taz46; 03-26-2021 at 11:29 AM. |

U sure those aren’t R35 rotors?
They look like 2 pc with J-hook slots from Stillen/AP

The rotor disc appears to be the right diameter, but the hat seems to wrong sized or design....almost feels like it’s a R35 hat mating to an 355mm AP rotors....

They checked it and the hub can't be smaller so there's no fix at it. So i guess i will need to return the discs. |

Yes return it.
Is DBA not available to you without the hefty shipping cost associated with US based brands?

yes dba is available , the conversion EUR to USD is something like 840$. to me it's a bit expensive for a fixed rotors, but i think it's the only option right now for two piece rotors. It's a shame here in europe the z is a non existent car in my country there's only less than 3k Z's sold from 2009-2020 |
