Akebono BBK + JSpec350GT Bracket Kit + Rotora Rotors VS Volk GT-S (+17 Offset)

I had a chance of picking up Akebono BBK, JSpec350GT bracket kit, and Rotora rotors at the same time for a really great price from JSpec350GT or T as soon as I knew he made it. His bracket kit is a high quality made plus you don't need to buy the whole BBK package just to get the brackets. You can buy those brackets alone, it's your choice! Thanks T.

JSpec350GT Bracket Kit


Rotora Rotors


================================================== ====

Yesterday before sending the calipers for powdercoating, I designed to do a quick install/bolt-on to see how bad the front fitment of all the components under my Volk GT-S with +17 offset without spacers.

After installation, it has a little more clearance between GT-S spokes and the calipers about 1/4 inch.

Front 06 Stock VS Rotora G37S Rotors


Before and After


Clearance


You do not need wasting your time cutting this dust shield. It can be removed all in 1 piece with simple 4 bolts in the back of the wheel hub. Turn your steering wheel around to make more clearance before you bolt and un-bolt.

I'm ready to send my front and rear calipers to powdercoat by Mike @ thepowdercoat.com. After I talked to him over the phone, he seemed to have a lot of experiences of powdercoating technique with reasonable price.

Now, what color do you guy suggest to go with my gold wheels???

sweet looking brackets, never saw the kit before. you'll be super happy with mikes work. for ip with gold, i say red with white lettering if you want to show them off a bit. white is more subtle. rotors look sweet too. ill have to do those next time around.

It made from aluminum 60xxx something, I don't really remember what he told me. By the way, your front bumper look so gross. It looked better with stock bumper. Remove and send it to me asap and i'll destroy it properly for you free of charge.

Look awesome!

So was it a better deal to buy these separately rather than buying the kit on the marketplace?
