You will have to buy a complete kit and Z1 hands down has the best pricing on these with several great options. They can also get you in touch with Mike here on the forums who powder coats to get that nice custom look. I hope to have my done next month.

If you have any other questions I'll be glad to help. I can even install them if you'd like.
That is exactly the type of review I was looking for, I have heard nothing but good things about the Akebonos especially in sporting street use. Did you also get the stainless brake lines as well? They apparently make a big difference in improving the somewhat dull pedal feel of the Akebonos.
