The reason that people can look to brands like AP Racing (yes, we develop kits with AP products, and brought Brembo to the aftermarket brake market originally) and Brembo is the established, timeless professional racing pedigree where money is no option, and performance is crucial. Other brands pop up all the time.. and unfortunately not always to the quality needed to perform when pushed.. Especially when the country of origin can come into play. (general statement, not about a particular brand) Anyone going to the track looks at pedigree, and technology into the development of brake products.. much beyond the looks involved with a kit, which was Chris' original statement. |

I agree, one just has to walk down the aisles at SEMA and AAPEX to see all the no name cheap caliper companies and the foreign manufacturers who will make your own brand for you on the cheap with no testing at all.

I just powdercoated a set of calipers called WP Pro for a guy. These were the worst things I have ever seen. Machine screws holding a finishing plate around the tiny pistons and shrink wrap tubing to insulate the crossover tube! Not knocking Alliance, I know nothing about them.

Thank you Josh, that was the general point I was trying to make. When you go to the track you want a company with reputation to stand behind you. Alliance is essentially unknown here in the US (seem to be from somewhere in Asia). Maybe they will be able to build a reputation at the track, and hopefully for them they do, but so far there isn't any reliable data other than a couple of enthusiasts doing a single track day. Much more data would be required before I would be willing to invest in such a critical component.
