But nissan standard brakes are hard to fade with good pads. So ur not losing with base. But you still have better brakes in the akebono pkg. It just depends on what you do with your Z.

Should of just bought a kit. There's bolts for the calipers, brackets for The rear brake lines, hardlines for the calipers, and did you get all the shimes, pins, and cotter keys that assist for the pads to work properly? Also are you upgrading to SS lines? Not sure if all of this comes with the calipers or not. But you wouldn't have to worry if Z1 put together the kit.
