Nissan Akebono 14" Brake Kits, Hawk Pads, Stoptech Rotors, 370Z Sport
 

These kits are now ready for 370Z Non-Sport Models. As we all know, Sport models already have these large brakes on them. It's also nice to know that paying to upgrade to a 14" Big Brake Kit is not gonna cost a Arm and Leg. These Kits are all direct bolt on, no additional hardware needed. The only modification that is required is shaving the dust shields. Stock Brake Lines, or upgraded SS lines will work on these systems.

Nice find, this seams like a pretty good deal for a BBK. but I'm glad I spent the xtra money for the sport package, for $1500 more you get Syncro Rev, Limited Slip and the 19" Rays, such a deal.

Did you find out pricing on the Stop Tech rotors??

Agreed.

The StopTech rotors are $260 a pair.

I went to their site, the info says that they are not made by Stop Tech, wonder who the manufacturer is ? Anyway, didn't see any prices there, when you click on buy now, it takes you to a dealer listing. I really like those gold zinc plated ones, wonder if anyone else does a stock size slotted or drilled rotor in the zinc plated?

What link did you click on? It goes straight to the stoptech rotors we have listed in the post, shows the prices also. Stoptech rotors are black coated to prevent rust, and powerslot rotors are cadmium plated. We are also going to have Zinc plated 2pc rotors in a few months.

Coz

I was on the Stop Tech website, didn't notice the ad to cart link in your post :tup: Any Idea when the rears will be available in the cross drilled or sloted?

Beginning of May

Coz

All this stuff looks great and it is by far the best bang for buck upgrade for a base 370Z. This morning I stopped by the dealer to ask a favor and they shot me down, maybe you (Coz) could help. I have the base model and this upgrade makes perfect sense. I am trying to figure out if buying these brakes is worth it before I upgrade my wheels. My question is, has anyone test fit these under the base model 18's? I took some rough measurements this morning between the two cars and it appears to be very close, but doable. I just want the peace of mind of knowing they will fit before I decide if my first upgrade is brakes or wheels.

It should fit, but you can use this template to make sure:

Wheel Fitment Template

Coz

I tried the template. It doesn't clear. It's VERY close. It could have just been the way I held the template. We are talking less than a MM to make it fit. It would appear that if you could grind down the outer most corner of the caliper it would clear no problem. I'm a little leery of grinding through that nice powder coat though.

Make sure you use a durable piece of cardboard to get your fitment, 2mm could be the whole difference.

I used a double layer of cardboard. Also lined the lug holes up exactly. It's too close to call.

You'll have to wait until somebody actually does it :)

The Oz spec 370Z comes with the Akebono brakes kit with the base model 18" wheels. It's a crazy tight fit but its factory and it works.

Thanks for the info. I have always wondered if base rims will clear the sports package (Akebono) brakes).

more info on the two piece!!!

wow... pm me price on those 2 piece rotors COZ :) looking good!!

WOW! is that price for all the SS brake lines correct..all 4 corners!!....i gotta get em!

bump

are the 2 piece rotors available yet?

Still working on it, no eta.

bump

Interested in the 2 piece rotors when they're available. Slotted but not drilled, please...

X2 on that..

Would you be able to sell the F & R kit without the rotors? email me the price please

so I know the sports package brakes aren't made for heavy track usage, question is do I have to spend another couple of thousands to upgrade to a better BBK or those slotted and drilled rotors a good compromise? If so I'm thinking about just upgrading the rotors

and you get the potenza's

The Akebono Kit is a Fantastic BBK, and if you are not doing excessive track events, you only really need better brake pads. 2pc Rotors would also help, but we are still working on those :)

Modified Magazines Take on the Akebono Kit
 

In the Media, Akebono Kit in Modified Magazine:

http://www.conceptzperformance.com/i...edmagazine.jpg

I am in the process of upgrading my Akebono setup with ss brake lines, Motul 600 and Ferodo 2500 brake pads. I cooked the stock pads durng a moderate track day last month.

I did the slotted rotor upgrade, didn't improve braking performance at all. They are essentially identical to OEM except you get the benefit of the slotting sweeping your pads clean so you don't get the grooving on the rotors.

If you are looking for a braking performance upgrade for the track and don't mind swapping out pads (pretty easy on the sport brakes) go with the Carbotech XP8's all around or even the XP10's up front if you have a heavy braking track. I wouldn't recommend them for the street because they aren't good in the cold and dusty and noisy.

2pc Rotor Sneak Peak:

I just got these in Friday, they look beautiful. These are DBA 5000 Series Discs, and our own CZP 6061-T6 Aluminum Hat. These hats are based off the same tolerances and specifications that DBA uses for all their 5000 Series 2pc Rotors. We are going to test these for 30 days, and then put them into production with a release date to follow.

With our past experience, we tried to cut down the weight as much as possible, but we kept having cracking and warping issues. So we decided to go with more durable disc, and a thicker hat. The DBA Kangaroo Paw Design provides this stronger disc, but with more material, there is more weight. The combination of the Thicker Hat and DBA Kangroo Paw Design, each front rotor will weigh 22lbs, which is still 8lbs lighter then stock. We were thinking of going with a thinner 7075-T6 Aluminum, but then the price would almost double. But we are very happy with this setup now, mainly because of the durability and quality.

Hats are bare aluminum right now, but they will be anodized black or maybe a signature color if we get enough requests. There are no plans for rear 2pc rotors at the moment. Pricing looks around $650-700 per set, or $550-600 when sold w/ a Akebono Kit. More News to come :)

I love DBA rotors, this looks like a worthy upgrade for those with stock sport brakes.

Yet Another Sneak Peak, don't worry, we will have "Akebono" logo's also, these are just for my 350Z that we are putting on w/ the 2pc Rotors :) Enjoy :)

Do you sell just the rear SS brake lines?

Yes, Stoptech sells them separately, $70.

Update, 2pc Rotors arriving end of this month, more info and pricing soon.

So these are the exact same calipers that come on the Sport model?

Is it possible to purchase the calipers by themselves through you, if I wish to procure my own pads and rotors?

If so what would pricing be for that?

very interested.
