If you paid any attention to the posts on this thread you would have easily come across posts that stated that no information would be disclosed as we have not paid advertisement fees for this forum at this time and did not intend to do so unless certain amount of interest was shown in a product like I have mentioned. So your wrong in 'your assumption' that I am here to pump my product and bash other companies. My goal is to see what, if any interest is out there for a 2 piece floating set up of rotors or full competition kit.

I also find it interesting to see that in addition to the above assumption you have so easily made that you also have made assumptions about this kit, who we are and what we do. Pretty ignorant if you ask me.

Your also wrong in your assumption that to offer something cheaper than the other options means that corners need to be cut or sub par parts need to be sold. Actually the parts we use are superior to Alcon and Stoptech. I can assure you that selling parts like this does not save me money. Selling kits like this saves you money as a consumer. We dont jack are prices up through the roof like Alcon, Stoptech and Brembo do. For the price that you can pay for an Alcon street kit we could put together a kit custom tailored to the 370z crowd. Featuring competition calipers, custom full floating rotors (which Alcon, Brembo & Stoptech do not offer BTW) and all associated hardware and brackets etc.

Sure ALMS, Grand AM prototypes use monobloc calipers. Whats your point. AP racing offers single piece monobloc, forged two piece, two piece cast, billet two piece calipers. They have the widest range of rotors and they have a healthy range of calipers as well. Alcon does not offer rotors in different vane counts nore does Stoptech and their calipers are off the shelf units with enlarged piston diameters which most of the time work against keeping factory bias.

Thanks for your comments.

That's exactly my point. You're trying to convince us to buy this kit and how it's superior to the others listed but there are no details.

I'm not bashing but expressing my fustration in the unneeded mystery of your claims. Somehow your kit is superior to all others but you offer no evidence why. How is it that your kit is superior to the others? How are the components superior?

You've stated some blatantly incorrect information. For example, most of the vendors offer different vane counts... Alcon alone offers at least 48 and 72 off the top of my head. While I agree that StopTech compromises their piston sizes, AP, Alcon, and Brembo offer a wide variety.

Hey I'm sure your kit will be priced attractively... but bear in mind that there are those of us shopping that know enought to want details. I have looked at these kits extensively and feel you are being misleading by claiming superiority without offering a shred of evidence. I spoke with reps from Brembo and Alcon and in fact really like them because they DO look at the stock car bias and select piston sizes that comform rather than just a generic kit for all cars with just different adapters (ala Tire Rack).

Not interested in a flame war, but buyer beware... The moment your thread to generate business received some negative thoughts, it's closed.... We don't know who you are, what your capacity is, etc... ...but want us to spend thousands with you? Do you offer service parts and technical support like the manufacturers? These are questions *I* would want answered before spending my money.
