Hi Coz, first of all, thanks for making the adapter and provide us with an affordable BBK.

Few questions...
1. My car is only street driven (no track), but sometimes aggressive driving style, will the 2 piece vs 1 piece rotor really make a difference?

2. Everything on the kit is really OEM? As in, the exact part# from the dealership? Only the bracket is custom made?

3. I can use my stock 2006 G35C brake lines with this BBK?

4. Would you consider just selling the adapter?

1. Probably not, when I went from OEM to the akebonos I didn't really notice much difference with the akebonos being heavier than the oem ones but I did notice a difference in stopping power. I mean granted they will make a difference but nothing crazy drastic imo.

2. Yep comes straight from the dealer

3. Yes you can use stock lines, I upgraded mine, its only a little more might as well do it now instead of later and having to bleed everything again.

4. A few people have asked but coz has said that the bracket will not be sold separately.

^^^ 18lbs vs 30lbs per rotor is significant.

Does it mean everyone should be concerned? No - but whether you care about street or track performance, that is a big weight difference.
