The Definitive Z34 Brake Resource

Anyone know anything about Racing Brake, EBC, or Relentless Autosports? Those look like the only companies that make 2-piece floating rotors for the Akebono kit, and unfortunately I know nothing

Unfortunately I do not know much about R.A., however I do speak from experience when I say that Racing Brake makes very good, track-proven rotors. Both RB and EBC are reputable track proven companies with years of experience.

I made a post HERE about the Ferodo pads available for Akebono. They are not the same as what comes loaded in the Brembo kit but it's another option for those who may be interested.

Hello, As far as you stating that we are one of the only companies to make a floating front and rear set of rotors for the Akebono's.... Well, the other company you mentioned two piece rotors are made of just common grey iron and the hats are not even made of forged billit aluminum like ours, those rotors are also NOT floating, and to my knowledge they have not even made the rears as of yet, just the fronts. It is more of a feeler if I am not mistaken (if someone actually has them on the rear please correct me if I am wrong).

As with most of our designed and built products, track driving was the main focus when designing our heat treated, stressed relieved, gas vented, full floating, two piece rotors. No corners where cut at all when creating these rotors. I assure you that you will NOT find a better made rotor for this brake kit (or almost any other brake kit). We have had our complete set (front and rear) on several cars now. There are a few customers we have these rotors on their cars here in the US, and a couple more orders are being filled here currently... I have a customer in the Austria/ Germany area with a Z34 who has our rotors and has logged many, many track days on them, he couldn't be more pleased.

Let me know if you have any questions, just PM me on here or feel free to call or e-mail.
