Akebono Bracket Question

Hey guys, i'm currently getting all the parts together for an akebono swap for my 2004 coupe. I found some brackets needed for the front calipers, but i have never heard of anyone else buying them from this store. Most get them from CZP i guess. Can anyone vouch for these, the link is below... Thanks!

People are willing to pay a high price which is why other companies are able to sell them for so much. I paid a CNC shop to make me copies of the Rare JDM bracket ($600 bracket) and I only paid $80 out the door without hardware. Get them and try them out.

Well i ordered a set of these brackets. I'll let you know how they turn out. It concerns me that they do not come with the extra two "moon" shaped pieces that the CZP kit comes with...

A lot of kits don't come with that 'moon' spacer. I don't have it and my brakes have been working fine for years.

So I finally installed my Akebono BBK, and so far the brackets seem to be working great after 120 miles. I would say that it is well worth it to go for these $75 brackets instead of the spendier ones which are probably equivalent in quality and function. I'll try to snap some pics and post them up later.
