No, it is purely personal preference not to touch anything made in China with 6 foot pole. Yes, a lot of stock parts in G are probably sourced in China, but I will not willingly fork out $1000+ on Chinese-made upgrade, especially when it concerns my safety and replaces high quality part from reputable manufacturer(hell, one of the best in the world!)
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....

did you forget that our cars or japanese/chineese built cars?
Dont tell someone what wheels look good on there car!
some people put what either what looks good for a good price or what look good for a price they cant ever get back when there ever ready to re-sell there wheels.
My next step is Futura design bbk, setting up a saving fund for them here shortly

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?

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
