Ings+1 LX Sport Brake System

Well here is another first look for everyone. For those of you that saw the exhasut first look thread, you'll remember me saying brakes were coming.
https://g35driver.com/forums/intake-exhaust/123638-first-look-lx-sport-exhaust-ings-1-a.html

Well now I have almost all of the information I need to make this public, so here are the pics.


They have applications available for many vehicles, most notably the G35, M35/45, 350Z, new IS/GS/LS, and Legacy.

Now for the most important part, pricing.
These are not cheap. If you are price sensitive then do not continue reading. The brake components used in this system are all from the leading manufacturers in Japan. So the kit is not all made by one company, but rather assembled with the highest quality components from different companies. This will obviously be more expensive since there is a lot less volume being sold of products. The brake pads are a special composite that emit minimal dust, perfect for those with nice wheels who get tired of having to clean the brake dust off their wheels. Ok now that I've tried my best to pad the price, here is our projected retail.
$11,500.00
This includes:
2x Front 6 Pot Aluminum Calipers
2x Rear 4 Pot Aluminum Calipers
2x Front 2 Piece Slotted Racing Rotor
2x Rear 2 Piece Slotted Racing Rotor
2x Stainless Steel Brake Lines
4x LX Sport Brake Pads(pads have a operating temperature of 0-550C, and a braking coefficient of 0.4-0.45)

Ings new approach is to become the premier Japanese tuner of high end automobiles, next products that will be released are wheels and suspension.

well the exclusivity and the quality of the key. is it higher quality then stoptech, i have to say yes. is it the highest quality kit on the market, i don't think i am qualified enough to make that call against the premiere kits. but in the end what is true purpose of a bbk on a daily driven g35? looks, you can't honestly say that it is necessary. these kits will probably sell more the the new gs and ls owners, but i have a feeling a few will be sold next year to g35 and z33 owners, just for those who want something that is different and money is of no object.

That price is insane. I can't think of anyone who would spend what is the equivalent to about half the value of their car on a set of brakes.

The kit will be bought by the people that can afford it. They look friggin awesome.

Quit complaining about price. Not everyone has the $ to buy an exotic car, and a lot of people can't justify spending $300k on a Murcielago. Same principal applies to these brakes.

is this a question or a statement?

everytime someone buys an endless brake kit for a civic or 240 they are actually exceeding 50% of their vehicle value.

these parts are not meant to be cheap, they are high end parts.

Endless brake systems are buck but a comparable front and rear kit can still be had for $4000 less than your system.

Nice! I agree, people with money will buy them. If you can't afford them, look to something else.

nice too bad you can't use e-brake unless you are at a full stop.
