Ive searched around and havent seen and definitive measurements or comparisons, between the two and both appeal to me.

Any info would be great as Im planning a swap along with the VH

Akebono is huge in european cars. Not many yanks know the quality and crafstmanship. Good choice IMO.

To add a little info I just priced them out at the local parts store, and there around the same price. Rotor difference seems to be by an inch 14 to 13", but no info on the actual calipers yet.

I sell these kits for g35's and Z's. They are a great option for break upgrade. Cheaper than willwood/stoptech,etc. Only issue I've ran into Is that It's bigger than brembo and it hits the spoke of the wheel if it has a low offset. You could run a spacer if you happen to have this issue.

^thats awesome, do you make it for the s13 as well? And if so post some pricing or pm me it, and what do you use for brake lines as I havnt seen anything on that too

Z1motorsports has all the info on their site, and brake line options. I know they aren't the best price for the kit online, but they seem to be the best place for the info.

Good friend of mine Swapped those Calipers onto his G37x and has loved them. I know when he initially did the swap they didn'thave the hardware kit, and they alone were a few bucks to have it all right.

Either way, excellent package...with decent pad choices too. OEM+ FTW.
