We won't have any track testing on this vehicle, I'm only interested in a structure test to get these approved and released. Once they are approved we will move these to a Track Vehicle, this is where we are going to be measure the temperatures of the discs.

 

well done, very clean

Thanks

 

I have an '06 6MT. I go through rear rotors like butter, front rotors typically last more than 20K. At both ends the pads are good for 2 rotor sets. I don't want to replace the OE 18" wheels (yet - I just put on another new set of PS/2's), so would be interested in doing the back only - since that is where I have my problems. I currently am using DBA slotted rotors with Project Mu B-force pads - braking force is perfect and the heat range works for my driving. I am concerned about brake bias - I do a lot of 'spirited' mountain/canyon driving and don't want the back hanging out on the brakes, I also don't want to have to use VDC to correct for an imbalance, or have massive understeer on the brakes because the brake force has moved to the front due to the extra piston area in the rear. What effect would just doing the rear brakes have on the bias? I would not mind running mismatched pads front/rear if you know of a combination that works to mimick the stock balance. I also have no problem going back to OE front rotors - they seemed to work fairly well. Or any other rotor. I have run EBC, OE and DBA - all the fronts were fine, all the rears warp w/in a few hard stops.

Oh, some of the mountain driving is pulling a 1,500# trailer if that matters.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

 

Will akebonos fit a g35 coupe with a 20x10+11 O-disk with a 10mm spacer?? If not what spacer would I need?? The rears are 20x11+7 O-disk.. They would fit?? I'm running a 10mm rear spacer also..

 

Use the template on the first page...

 

any pics of the rear?

 

I know you're going to tell me "LOOK AT THE FITMENT GUIDE!" but, generally, do these fit 19's/20's? I am in the market for wheels and tires and found these bono's as my first option. The fitment guide is not the easiest thing to figure out though!

 

GENERALLY, they fit 19" wheels. However, what you have to mainly look at is the offset of the wheels (how far they stick out from the car) and the spoke/disk design. Because wheels have different spoke designs and offsets, one 19" wheel will fit, while another wheel, with a different design and offset will not. While there is plenty of clearance from the barrel of the wheel to the caliper, the spoke might hit the caliper, etc. What I've also noticed, wheels with big lip designs are not BBK friendly. So, with this kind of investment, I'd highly recommend figuring out the fitment guide. Also, search the forum, there's a thread out there with people listing their wheel and brake combos. I have 19" Volk GT-S wheels with +17 front and +18 rear offset and they have about 2mm clearance with the Akebono's. I was looking to buy a second hand set of 20" Work Varianza wheels with +5 offset, but because the "disk" was designed for max lip, the spokes were tucked in and would hit the caliper.

 

You should have just told him to "LOOK AT THE FITMENT GUIDE"

 

Hah, thanks for the answer, I sincerely appreciate it, and mostly the fitment guide won't help me yet because I have not purchased the wheels either!

 

when you're wheel shopping, your best bet is to look for something that is "BBK compatible." That's not an official term, but you know what i mean
