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....
You are seriously retarded if you are willing to talk out of your *** without any basis for your unfounded paranoia. Let me guess you wouldn't buy these, but you would be willing to buy the "American" Alliance BBK set??? Do you know that even the main vendor of Alliance on my350z admitted the brakes are exactly the same besides the etching, and that his sole claim for the huge increase in price was his customer service? He claims his customer service if far superior to someone such as phatboy, although there is no evidence suggesting there is anything wrong with phatboy or other vendors in the first place. Next time read up on a topic a bit before you make stupid assumptions and statements. You've been here long enough to know that.

To the OP: Sweet brakes! Love the color. (ps if you are selling your oem brembos send me a pm )

I'm working on the website now. Right now it's just the brakes, but I have plans on expanding to some VIP type products.

obender dont worry about the OP's **** riders.

these brakes are junk just like the alliance branded ones. There are a lot of people with quality issues on my350z.com. From aesthetics of the FADING finishes to people having issues with piston seals. The piston seals are failing even though these brakes are not getting tracked...just daily driven.

Just another fly by night, no R and D company that managed to find a Chinese supplier willing to put a logo on their product.

I am all for new companies but lets get some RD going and not just labeling.

Whats sad is you could have gotten a quality kit for less.

hows your brake pad selection?
What do you do when your vendor is no where to be found?

/\ just curious cause I just inquired about a set of these the other day.Price a little high for a not so well known BBK. I am still willing to give them a shot, just need some kinda feedback and a "sale " price wouldnt hurt either.

Thanks. /\ anyone have any feedback? Are they comparable to the Stoptechs or Brembos? I leaning towards the 6/4. They look sharp for sure. Who carries replacement pads for these?

Replacement pads are available from AP Racing, Endless, Brembo, Hawk, or Ferodo. Best way to get in touch with me is PM.

It's crazy, man. So many brands popping up from people just buying these in bulk, using fancy colors and selling them.

I'd love to know what material the seals are made of, how serviceable are they?
Where do you get replacements?
What size are the pistons?
Are they equally sized or sized in accordance to heat zones?
What proportioning tools are used for the change in the use of the fluid?
What material pad does the kit come with?
What's the heat threshold of the caliper?
What's the heat threshold of the rotor?

I've seen what Brembo brakes are really capable of after years of heading a SCCA race team and their design, technology and products really are developed and engineered for performance, not reverse engineered for colors and HUGENESS factor.

I'm a very firm believer in to each their own, do what you want to your car but I hope that these aren't being marketed as a "Race Brake Kit". They do look good and if that's what you're looking for, more power to you.
