New BBK aobut to hit the market!!!

I just got the 4th set ever released.. (compete w/ and perform like Rotora)

Futura Designs
14" slotted rotors
8/6 Pot
Purple Calipers..



I had to shoot these when I got them out of the box.. This purple matches my plenum exactly.. They pride themselves on being able to do custom colors applications.

I'm getting them installed today at 4, so more pics coming w/ them installed.

What is with all the extra holes in the rotor hat?

I'm sure these are a rebranded set of calipers from one of the existing caliper makers? But neat color though

same as Alliance and those other rebranded sets from Korea or China. There's a thread floating around here or my350z.com somewhere about it.

nice brakes, post some pics when you install, Alliance is made in Taiwan from what I know these probably came from the same factory they all look so sweet though ! with a bunch of different colors to choose from too


yea there's a thread on my350 that shows a link where you can get the Alliance kits for around half price of what one of the vendors is selling them for under the name Fat Boy brakes or something like that, then the vendor responded saying the mark up was because of shipping and his customer service, cant find thread was probably removed at vendors request.


I didn't know people paid extra for customer service, and to top it off even after shipping from overseas the other guy's Alliance kit is still a lot cheaper than the 350 vendor.

* Choice of anodized color with rotor hats to match.

All Future Design calipers are T6061 forged aluminum.
Mounting hardware brackets are high pressure cast iron.

Futura's based in Texas.. But yea, they're made in Taiwan.. Got to me in 3 weeks after I ordered them (2 weeks build time, 1 week shipping).. Lemme know if you guys are interested in more info..

I'm getting mine installed at 4, so should have some more pics w/ them ON today..

They're made for different applications and bolt patterns, not just the G, so they're transferrable to other vehicles..

+1, 4 lug and 5 log rotors FTW.

if it significantly lowers the cost of the kit, i can live with extra holes!
