DIY: Akebono BBK Installation on 03-07 G/Z
#78
Most awsome write up...Thank you! I have 2 questions though:
1st. Did you use any of the stock hard lines and brackets for the brake lines that attach to the back of the calipers from the G37s or do the lines (new StopTech SS) go right into the back of the calipers now via the banjo bolts?
2nd. Are there any issues with the ABS after this change?
Again...MANY THANX !!!

There is only one picture in this thread that is backwards and it's Michael's rear rotor a few posts up. The rest are installed properly.

Handle or brake? Car will absolutely handle worse with these brakes vs.stock. More unsprung weight is bad for handling. These things are heavy.
I just removed my dust Shields when I read that didn't even try. I hate rubbing dust Shields lol such a nuisance

Are you saying the OP is a novice mechanic or you are? And the brackets are custom made by companies such as conceptzperformance.com

Hey guys.....I am pissed and I need your help. I have been trying to find a company to make me either the Akebono stickers or the Stencils for the Akebono BBK and either get, "Sorry we cannot reproduce copyrighted logos" or in the case of vinyldecals.com they had them literally last week and when I sent them a message the response I got was "Sorry we are no longer offering those decals." WTF!!!
ANYONE have suggestions on where to get these?
