Akebono Calipers

Does anyone have a set they are willing to loan or rent out to me so I can powder coat mine and still daily my car?

I know it is a long shot but figured I would ask. If someone has a set they are looking to sell or not using you could REALLY hook a brother up.

^^Yeah thought about that but my paint skills are not great and still seems like the half a$$ way to do it. Would rather not mess them up so prefer to take them and get powdercoated.

Your other option would be to go through CZP. if you put down a $1500 deposit, they will PC a brand new set of akebono in whatever caliper/letter color combo you want. once you send them your old set, they will refund you the $1500 deposit. the cost to PC is $350. It s lil more expensive but this way you would have no downtime. This what I intend to so sometime next year since I don't want any downtime and don't have a spare set.

^^Good call. I know Mike. Out of J'ville..right? I did not think he did core swap. Looks like that may my best bet unless some one steps to my once in a lifetime offer.
