I know what everybody's initial thought about Megan products are, and I took that into consideration this past weekend at California Speedway when Scott Bush (WA2GOOD) and I tested their parts on Scott's 350Z. Scott's 350Z is stock except for the Megan BBK, coilovers, sways, cat-back exhaust, and an intake so we found it a much more realistic test bed than our time attack car.

My Review:
I was honestly and genuinely impressed with this kit in every way. I had driven this car with these brakes before on the street and they were awesome on the street, but I thought I was going to be able to burn them up on the track to be honest. I will be the first to admit I fell into the trap that Megan products were sub-par to others because thats what I had heard. Well that was dumb. I beat the ever living hell out of these brakes and they took every bit of it. These brakes were every bit as good as the AP Racing BBK we use on the time attack car. Both Scott and I ran this car two days in a row, session after session, sometimes two sessions in a row driving the car HARD. The Cal Speedway ROVAL has some exceptionally hard braking zones as well like coming off of the oval and stopping from 145mph down to probably 40mph. The initial bite, and pedal feel of the Megans was incredible. Heat resistance was up to anything we could throw at it, and pad life was surprisingly well for running the pads supplied with the kit! Comparing them to the APs performance wise, they are every bit as good. Price wise, the Megans are half the price. Quality wise, the Megans actually come with much better 2-piece rotors. The AP Racing BBK's hardware has been known to break, but the Megan rotors already come with huge aluminum hats and beefy hardware that you would pay an additional couple thousand for getting the AP Racing Track Kit. My biggest complaint that I already had in my head before track testing these was pad selection, but now I don't care so much since the supplied pads were up to all of the abuse we threw at them and still maintained minimal wear!

So to sum it all up, we beat the crap out of these brakes and got no brake fade, no unusual pad wear, no discolored calipers, incredible initial bite, incredible stopping power, and reliable performance for half the price of other BBKs. And these are now my personal favorite street and track brakes and if I can sell my APs for enough money you will see this BBK on the Double Down Time Attack 350Z for 2008.

So don't listen to what people at HIN say, Megan Racing makes an amazing BBK.

i've always liked them, have had a few of their parts and they all were great quality for the price., how much do they run?

 

Here is the link to the group buy that I have going on for the Megan Racing BBK.........

This has got my thinking.....anybody else using this BKK kit??

 

Canadian is the only G that I can think of off the top of my head that is running this kit.

 

To date, I know of seven Z's and G's with this BBK.

We have sold/installed 5 of the 7. There are three G35's and four 350Z's with these on.

 

I almost got a set of these before I ended up with the huge Rotora's. Everyone who has them seems very happy. I just don't like the color and caliper look. One of those can be fixed easy!

 

Scott, I think in the my350z thread you mentioned the pads that come with the kit have a MOT of 650 degs. Is that correct? If it is then that is really low and shouldn't be able to stand up to the heat of track usage, especially they way you guys push the cars. Hawk HPS pads are only about 750 degs and we all know how great those are for the track. I'm not doubting you guys did just fine with these brakes. It's just that the 650 number has me confused. Care to set me straight?

 

I want to get on this group buy! I've got a sedan with +44 offset all around 19 by 8.5f and 9.5r.

EDIT: one thing i have noticed is that no one has asked how much does this kit weigh compared to OE system. Maybe a minor thing considering the price. i looked through the entire 350Z post and the MR website and nothing on how much it weighs. Probably most of us will not care due to the price, but i guess it makes a difference for those that track heavy.

 

wa2good pm sent to you to get on confirmed list.

 

Got it. Thanks

 

What's the deal man, i'm ready to fork out the cash for the kit

 

i already gave my confirmation payment, i'm number three on the confirmed list. two more and the price drops. common fellows let's see some more commit and get a great price on this BBK.

 

So what's up, anyone from G35driver going to jump on this GB? Common guys, or gals, give youself a late x-mas present. You know you want to.

 

Bump and info from my350z:

We have brutally street tested and track tested these brakes for over a year now and they are impecable.
