New 2-Pc Rotors for Akebono G37 Brakes - Interest Thread
#16
Don't thank me, thank RacingBrake... they are the one's making the rotors... I'm just trying to help them get the word out, so we can make it happen.
Hehehe... Don't we all!?!?
Follow the link in my initial post and you will find there is already a list going there. I think there are currently already 6 or 7 people signed up, so we only need another 3 or 4 people to get this going. Come on all you Akebono guys... sign up!!

I'm actually thinking of waiting for these rotors to be released. Then hopefully one of the vendors will offer a full package with front and rear rotors (if RB makes rears) like the guys at CZP are doing.
They're asking $1620 for the full kit with Stoptech rotors, so I'm hoping someone will offer something similar with these 2pc rotors.

I think I'll do the standard rear kit w/ss lines and the front kit with ss lines and the RB 2 pc rotors. No sense spending money for something with very little benefits, no?

Well if that's the case then I agree, no point in spending extra.
On the other hand, it would be nice to have matching rotors front and back. And even shaving off a couple lbs. with the rears wouldn't hurt.
Either way I won't be getting the BBK until I get my DPEs or at least a temporary set of G37s wheels to keep me satisfied till I order the DPEs, so I'll see if they decide to release rear rotors in a package.

I think I remember reading in RB's thread that the rears probably won't be made as: (1) they aren't as heavy as the fronts, and (2) they only do like 20% of the total braking.

I have to order rear rotors anyway & I'd rather have RB one piece than OE.

i would definitely be interested in 2pc. rotors for my stock brakes, and i can't see why anybody else in this thread wouldn't be. then we wouldn't have to upgrade to Akebono's just to get 2pc. rotors. i'd hand my credit card over right now for 2pc. rotors.

Hehe... I know, I know... I'm in the same boat as you. With new wheels, JIC's, and the Akebono brakes I'm just about tapped out... Now what do we do?
#28
anyway come on guys, only 3-4 more people to get this underway!
