It was a joke lol

 

damn those caliper covers look sick.

gonna put some on my lawnmower

 

lol... i thought they were real BBK! SMH.

 

Omg, I just noticed it says 7 sold...SMH

Also what is a G50?

 

What about $550 shipped for the full set of akebono calipers? I am working on getting it down to $500.

I think that would mean I would be able to get everything I need, including powdercoat and 2 pc rotors for under 2500

 

We settled on $500 shipped. Can someone tell me if these have all necessary hardware (shims, etc), so that I will have a complete setup after buying:

nice dude great pick up ! looks like its all there, except you need the Front Hardware and Adapter brackets, then rotors!

PM me what you end up donig on rotors, when these are wiped i"ll want something lighter

 

^Willdo, picking up these used will give me some extra cash to spend on powdercoating, and then some. Im debating between a couple right now, but I am fairly certain that I wont get them used though. Who did you get your akebonos through? CZP or Z1?

 

pulled the trigger, ended up being 565 because taxes

 

what a STEAL of a DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FN lucky dude..... CONGRATS!

 

With pads? That's amazing

I got mine from CZP but these rotors are off the chart heavy, I fought about even installing them for weeks. Like adding a set of wheels, not cool.

So for sure let me know what you end up doing, and agree, never buy used rotors

 

Yeah, I might sell the pads if they sell for a decent price, because most of the rotors come with pads.

As far as rotors go, to the best of my knowledge, the 2 piece options are

Front
OEM 30 lbs
DBA 24 lbs
CZP 23 lbs
Racing Brake 22 lbs

Rear
OEM 20 lbs
Aftermarket 1 piece: dont know
Racing Brake 2 piece: 16 lbs

The racing brake rotors are prohibitively expensive though, Im going to wait around for a group buy from either Racing Brake or CZP, but at this point the CZP package is looking very attractive to me. I am also not sure if there is anything other than weight to consider.

 

Quality is huge on the list, I haven't shopped around about it, and know little about it regarding the options.

Either way you slice it, even at 22 lbs, that's bloody ridiculously heavy.

 

I agreee, quality is more important than weight even. I assume they are all good / similar quality though.

Yeah, the people at racing brake said this was the heaviest rotor they have ever weighed. They have an interesting design as well, and the design also has less disc, more hub, which is good if you dont like the rust ring / want to powdercoat the hub

They do look damn good....but I would only get them if they had another 20% off group buy

 

Yeah I hate the rust ring on the rear rotors!!

I'm going to paint them though.
