Hi Guys, my name is russell

Hi guys. I am a new member and my name is Russell. I just recently purchased a used G35 Coupe.

I wanted to do some upgrades to my car. I was thinking of upgrading the brakes but my budget is a bit limited right now so I cant get brembos or anything expensive....

I was looking on eBay and I came across these...

What do you guys think? They aren't branded but I think they look okay. Does it look sketchy? Apparently Taiwan is famous for making brake kits. Maybe this is an OEM?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

if you are gonna spend a grand on that you might as well just pick up a used set of brembos on here. instead of buying a possibly sketchy set of calipers on "flea bay"

1 sale in the last year? You can't buy from that.

No, bro. You can find OEM b-bos for cheaper than $1250.

Would they be14inch 2pc rotors and 6 pistons though? Or 4piston 13.5s?

i dont think you will be able to tell the difference unless you are tracking the car hard. and it will be much easier to find parts for the brembos.

and the brembos are 12.76 in 4 pot front rotors. at least the stock sport brakes.

Yeah, if you're just going for looks, then whatevs', but I'm sure the brembz are a lot more reliable, and probably perform better than a cheap 6-pot. I mean consider the fact that a 6/4 setup usually costs $5-6k and that $1k price tag for the eGay fronts starts to look pretty fishy. Just the fronts on a 6-pot should run closer to $2500-3k.

All of which makes you wonder what's going on with these... and price includes shipping!
