And what kind of research have you done-you have 2nd kit in the country? Are you sure this kit is up to the task? Did you beat it on the track to ensure its "performance"? Did somebody beat it on the track EVER? Does it have any quality certifications?
Are you gonna take your girl/wife/kids out this car? Hmmm....
Some people just love to hate. Not everyone cares about what name is etched into their brake calipers. I highly doubt this guy is going to track his car, as 90+% of people on this forum never will. He's just after a kit that's going to look good and stop his car. Your concern about its safety and reliability is unfounded and purely based on opinion. I think everyone can agree that Brembos, Stoptech, etc. likely have more real-work, track proven R&D behind them, but that doesn't mean this BBK is junk or likely to fail.

Please point me to 350Z.com, where someone took this kit to the track. Even Mike The Distributor politely avoided this question. The only advantage I see is the "colour choice"-great, I can match my brakes to my purse and my stilettos. Oh, ****, I shouldn't have said that.

Instead of offering me hard facts about why this kit is so good, you started trashing me and other members of this forum who dared to show hint of scepticism.

So Jackus, why don't you go out and do 25 hard stops in a row from 120 mph to 30 mph and tell us about your experience?

Are there any stats for the Alliance BBK? This constant arguing about whether or not these BBKs are purely aesthetics are getting old. The Alliance BBK is pretty much the exact same as these as well as the Phat Boy BBKs or whatever.

my knowledge is that brembo's have a proven track record in auto/motorcycle racing and that this brand is made in a country that has a proven track record of producing shoddy product with substandard materials...and who was judging btw. if i was judging, my post would have said "why are you so proud of downgrading from a quality brake system to an pos made in china that has no racing history and is unproven in the long run?" there, now i'm judging.

edit: oh, and btw, the op's reply was a perfectly reasonable answer to my original question. and fyi, standard non-brembo's have similar numbers to brembo equipped g35's. the difference/advantage is reduced brake fade and repeatable stops in track performance.

they're all made in one factory in china and whoever buys them in bulk can put their name on it and sell it as theirs.

I can understand not buying something based on performance or the way it looks. I don't think it is realistic to say you won't buy these brakes just because they are made in China. Unfortunately, most of the brake parts for all major suppliers are made at factories or foundries in China and Taiwan. It's an unfortunate side affect of the out-sourcing world we live in. It's not just brake parts; it's just about everything you buy outside of clothes (for whatever reason they are out-sourced to other countries). Everyone in my industry (semiconductors) is (or already has in most cases) moving to Taiwan and China. Even companies like Intel that have mostly made their products here now have large operations in China.

There will always be haters, but listen I didnt care where the fvck they came from. They are solid looking brakes, I like the design and color choice, they work, Im not dead yet, my SS brake lines are fine so far. Most none of us dont track and never will, including me, so I dont care if these stop .5 seconds slower or can achieve warp speed. Most of these brakes besides the monoblocks are most likely casted in the same house and sent out to other places to finish such as stoptech, rotora et al..

Jackus, Those look great!, Can you help with some facts besides the pictures of the installation by your Mexican friend?

I like the look and size but need more info. Would you point out a direction for application use and specifications on these Futura Racing brakes?

Where did you buy? What is the price you and the other buyer paid for the 1st and 2nd sales in USA? Thanks
