I directly defined bang for buck several times - here is an example From post #92 and clarified in post #95

As Jeff stated, I cant see the price vs performance value of a brake kit costing 3K more than Akebono… are there better kits? Yes of course, but the OP wasn’t “what is the best kit”…

If Akebono’s with light weight after market rotors cost 2700… what other brake kit offers a better bang for the buck and why? That’s not an invitation to start naming a bunch of high dollar kits – unless there is a logical cost benefit to them.

I havent seen anything to make me think otherwise

LOL "dollar for dollar" is hardly a quantifable set of requirements to answer from.

If you don't think I have answer, then fine. I'm not sure why you think I would ask you for more information before giving mine if I didn't but it's your opinion.

Akebono FTW!

No, you haven't or else you would already know the price of that kit yes? (whatever that "kit" was anyway as there are more than 1 combo for each offering)

Hey Jeff, so my 2006 G35 coupe rotors weigh appx 20lbs each? Is there a website/link for reference? thanks in advance.

I've mentioned the weight of the 05 rotor vs the 03 in my old brake threads. Could be off by 1lb +/- though
