Message	I am in the market for a BBK for my TTZ as I need better braking power. I already tried the MWS 12.1 front rotors with Hawk HP pads, SS lines and MBC and it's not good enough for me. (My 2006 G35 had better braking stock.) I am seriously considering the Akebono kit. Anyone have it and what do you think about it?
