oh also, does it have to say infiniti? can you get em to say akebono?

thanks
It's a Standard Coating from Nissan, so you'll be fine in the winter. We are working on Different Colors and Akebono Logo on calipers... More to come.

Yes, it'll be extra, you do not have to worry about caliper coating, it's covered.

Its a great idea Coz... presumably colors will be limited to what you pre-stock? Or are you doing made to order?...

Also - thanks for the banjo bolts - all went well (except for r/r that got fubar last weekend... made it work but - not totally beuno )

REALLY, REALLY looking forward to 2-piece rotors... going from 11.5" cross drilled/slotted (15-ish lb) rotors to 30 pound pigs on wheels has absolutely affected acceleration

Braking is good though

*Coz, sorry for pic whoring in your thread - but I thought others might like 'em & buy 'em
Install pics:

Cut rear dust shield lip to clear bigger rotors (front bottom corner cut too, to clear bracket - but forgot to take pics) - thanks John @ Temple City Auto, nice work

So far, I like these brakes a lot! (not the rotors so much, too heavy)... the braking power is very good - OEM pads grip well (spririted street) and are noise free! Seem to have little to no dusting.

Cant wait to get some light weight rotors on!

other pics have been taken - but what I posted is all I have access to right now...

Install took longer than expected due to a few snafus that most people wont experience (mentioned earlier in this thread).

In reality it should be 2-3 hours (including cutting shields and bleeding brakes)

Awesome appreciate the info.

Coz, am i reading this right, in the future we are goin to have the option to pick a color for extra fee?

If so this would be awesome because i thought about buyin these, then sending them off to b PC, if you give us that option it would be one less step on my end.

^^^ CZP = in it to make the customer happy

I agree that color option is a great idea (and for now a niche that no one else is offering).
