I've never heard anything but good stuff regarding these. I don't think a lot of people run them because they are on the spendy side.

Aesthetically, the color doesn't do much for me.

 

Hmmm... I'm not too hot on the aqua color either. Is the picture color just off, or is it available in other colors? Since your G is black, the color combo [as seen] would probably be okay - just my personal opinion that I don't like the aqua color look. Aside from that, I too have heard limited, but good things, about the company.

 

oh damn, i've been drooling over those for quite some time. if you have the finances, definitely get them. project Mu is ridiculous. look at alot of the race cars in japan and you'll notice project Mu stickers on them. if they are using them on the racetracks, i think they are more than good enough for our use. i have to agree tho, they are very pricey. 6 piston calipers, dayam! if you reallly have money, get 8 piston ones like the ones they use on F1 race cars(yes, they can make em for our car if u have the money). your car will be doing endo's! <~~j/k.

hahahaa......

Yes they are pricy. trying to get some prices on these. Yea the color isn't really going to cut it but i have a black car so it should be ok....I HOPE!!!!

Yea i have no clue whether i should spend the money or not but i do miss BBK(big brake kits)......I had my wilwoods and now i miss them so i need something else to stop my CAR....It does weigh more now cause of my system.

Good choice! Maybe look into Alcons or Endless too. Alcons are gold and Endless are navy if the turquoise is not your cup of tea...

APC is my weapon of choice.
APC reeks of great taste.

Friend had these on his 350Z, they looked NIIICE

I'm getting the endless kit. You can get the caliper painted gold at the factory instead of blue. It's not an exact match but it'll be close to the stock brembos.

 

Alcons are the Rolls Royce of brakes in my opinion. I can't seem to find an official site but I am estimating a good $6000 for the 6-piston set with rears. BTW...UCLA grad here! HEHEHE...

Ahh i c i c. Yea i got some info from my friends about ALCOn. Prodrive uses them alot. I can't seem to find an application for the G tho.

Al: how much is that endless kit running you? Are you getting front and rear?? What made you go endless?

Endless are in the same categories of quality, reputation, performance, etc., as project mu in Japan. Endless and PM are considered Japan's best brake manufacturers.

I'm only getting the front 14" kit with 6 piston calipers as the stock brembo rears at just under 13" is more than adequate with proper pads, lines and fluid.

Being able to get the custom gold calipers is pretty much the deciding factor. I couldn't afford the front and rear kit to either manufacturer and I didn't want different colored calipers front and rear.

Check your PM's.

 

Yea i can't afford front and rear either. THere is absolutely no way. I think project mu would be unique.....I really don't know if my car will match welll with the color of the PM's brake kit. We'll see how the prices come out tho.

Ed

THe prices of both brake kits are about even i think
