Well, at least you are ~200lbs lighter than us AWD people. But yeah, I was quite shocked when I learned about the weight of the Akebono rotors as well as the calipers themselves.
As for your GT30's, beauty comes at a "heavy" price, but it's a nice price to pay :biggthumpup: |

Cuz I have pads left and I'd like to run them out first... or I'll just use the oem rotors until i've used all the pads. haha
I was thinking of getting some P-Mu pads tho'... I would always install new pads with new rotors. |

that's my biggest reason why i'm considering this. I've added so much unsprung weight since i put 20" wheels/tires and bbk... I hope this will make a huge difference for me.

The OE rotors definately feel heavier than 29.5 lbs. -Clint |

Can we still use the OEM Akebono pads with these rotors? (I'm sure you can... but just had to ask).

IMO, If you want to run out your pads do it on the OE rotors.
I would always install new pads with new rotors. You can run the OE pads on the rotors, but as InTgr8r said, it would be a good idea to install new pads with new rotors. Once you have your new pads and rotors, follow the Street Break In procedure. We are currently checking with Hawk to offer Akebono owners a great deal for brake pads. We will keep everyone updated. |

If anything, the 2pc will most certainly be for thermal performance first. Btw, Infiniti has R-Spec pads for the Akebono's as well. |

RacingBrake is pleased to offer G35Driver.com members an exclusive deal on a two-piece rotor that can replace 08-09 Infiniti G37S bulky and heavy OE rotors (w/Akebono calipers), and as a BBK upgrade for G35. We measured the OE rotors and will design and build a much lighter rotor while retaining OE fitment and superior quality standards.

I am sure you guys understand that these rotors only work with Akebono calipers, so for G37S owners they are just a bolt on upgrades, but for those G35 drivers you must make sure you can purchase these Akebono calipers before commit to orders - just a word of caution. .... Along this same line of caution and because I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, I thought it might be worth mentioning that (according to Riverside Infiniti folks) the G37 BBK kit will not work with the factory rims on the '07/'08 G35 sedans w/Sport. SO...don't forget to add the cost of some new rims to go along with the BBK expense... BOOO! :mad: Count me as another customer for a two piece rotor for the stock 07/08 sport brakes. |

By the way, have you considered posting on MyG37? There's certainly a larger group of Akebono-equipped drivers there. We'd go through the first 10 pretty fast.

We are currently not a sponsored vendor on MyG37, but if you know of any Akebono equipped drivers there, let them know about this deal! :)

Count me as another customer for a two piece rotor for the stock 07/08 sport brakes. Thank you for pointing that out. I'll add a notice to the first post to make sure everyone is aware of fitment applications. |
Can you do drilled/slotted or only the open slotted?

We are only offering slotted or open slot finishes with this offer. Here's a link for more information regarding Slotted vs Drilled/Slotted vs Open Slot I think you'll find this very informative. |
I saw that. I am not an agressive driver. I just want drilled/slotted purely for looks reason.
