Akebono BBK hardware kit
im buying all the parts so i can upgrade to the sport BBK
and i have a question regarding the hardware kit.
referencing this thread for my parts:
https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...the-cheap.html
I bought both the centric hardware kit and the posi quiet pads, which came with a hardware kit. so i have two extra kits...
but i noticed the pins on the front and rear are the same size in both kits. Are the hardware pins supposed to be the same size? or is the rear supposed to be shorter?
Im asking because i read this post on the thread
should i buy 4 of these?

FYI for anyone buying centric brake hardware kit for the Akebonos. The pins that comes with the rear kit are the same length as the fronts. That will cause them to poke out the rear calipers; As opposed to being flush. You will either need to cut them to be flush, or buy the OEM rear pins at substantially more. Cheapest I've seen is $6.16 per pin.

Here's a kit that member Overboard found at rockauto.com, might be worth consideration

Only caveat is reman calipers can vary in exterior condition, some are pristine and some have been banged up which may reflect the final finish coat.

This happened to me as well. I ordered the kits from Rock Auto and the rear pin is the same length as the front and sticks out. I emailed them to see if I could get the correct one and they said they couldn't replace them since I "installed" them. I ordered as indicated on the website for the rears and I still got the wrong item. I couldn't wait 2-3 as I already had everything ready to roll. They do work as I have them in now, they just stick out but they don't interfere with anything so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
