G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Nice brakes but you're a bigger baller than me. Don't have 4K for brakes at the moment.

Subscribed for installed pics though.

There are a bunch of brake company's out there with many multiple decades of experience and gazillion hours of testing. Brake design is super critical so how they work/last is far more important than what color they'll paint them! Sorry, but that's how it works in my logical common sense gray matter....

Design wise these seem to be exactly the same as alliance and phatboy's or w/e his name, and according to phatboy and not denied by alliance all the brakes are made in the same factory in Taiwan and alliance just stamps their logo on it. Other than that they are the same, Alliance claims that you buy better customer service with your thousands of extra dollars although the Taiwan guy claims a year warranty and great customer service record so far. It would seem that the company the OP is showing for just cut a deal from the same factory as well.

I read that thread on my350z, I just want to point out that it's not thousands of dollars more for the alliance kit. It turns out my complete kit was about $200 more than what phatboy sells them for. Personally, I don't mind that extra cost considering I felt much safer buying my kit from the vendor, rather than some guy over in Taiwan lol.

They look similar but arent, then again how much different could a brake design be?

Where'd you get yours? People on my350z claim their vendor sells it for 4K where as this one you can get for mid 2k
