My recent experience with Z1.

Sounds like someone didn't do any research. Known fact that when switching from base brakes to sport brakes (Nismo's are the same). You have to get everything from brake lines, pads, calipers and rotors.

Don’t think he’s switching from base to sport. Looks like he’s going from Akebono to the Nismo branded StopTech.

You mean this kit?

I see the AP kit is offered again. It hasn't been available for a while.

Exactly! The pricing between the order in question and this full kit would support where I’m coming from. Thank you!

No one wants a battle when we have already admitting we were incorrect. Shipping method seems to be the last grievance.

What's the diameter on there rotors?

This is one of the many reasons a lot of us on this forum refrain from ordering from Z1 in the first place. One of the last straws I had with Z1 I needed new rotors before an event and they sent me the wrong rotors. They even tried to make me pay for the return shipping $$$. I’m with Bob on this before you even consider upgrading your base brakes do your research.

I did all my due diligence but research will not get you anywhere if you’ve been fed misinformation. As has been pointed out, I have Akebono brakes, NOT base brake.

As you can see in that listing, they're selling the full kit. Not sure why they don't realize what it is they are selling.

The front rotors are 355 x 32mm, rears are 328 x 28mm.

I have a Nismo, looks like someone didn't do their research before commenting.

You wasn't real clear on what you was doing. Read like you was mixing parts from different kits. Had SS lines from base, and trying to fit 'bono's, etc. Sorry, but that's the way it read.

Hope you get this straighten out.
