Message	I've been wondering about converting to Aluminum brake calipers lately (mostly for the weight difference, even though I'm not sure how big of weight difference it is) Either way, my previous plan was to upgrade to the Akebono BBK mainly for looks and price (Mine is a pure street Z) but I didn't really like the weight of the kit. Your brake system looks great and would be much more practical (and less expensive) than the Akebono for my Z. I would still like to source another set of calipers to have rebuilt and powdercoated and all ready to go (minimize downtime) I think I'll just pick up whatever comes up at a good price and if I need to switch to a bigger master cylinder for the aluminum calipers, then so be it. Again, thanks for your previous post, I saved it to my computer for my future Z plans ;)
