what i meant was that everyone goes on about how good brembo is (yes, i agree... they are good) but noone seems to research more than what they can read in manufacturer's brochures or magazines.
it seems to me that there are many really good brake manufacturers out there, but i guess the brand name is what really counts then???
Not at all, name brands doesnt help for anything.
But Brembo is what worked for us under heavy abuse. Maybe there is something better, just havnt found it yet, and we have been gone with allot of brake types.
If there is something better it will make a name for itself and probably be expensive anyway! 😈
No what counts is that they have to be tested. Anyone can start a company and manufacture brakes and talk a lot of junk in their ads and so forth but does it have pedigree?? Has it been used by racers and daily drivers and been proven good and safe. I think brakes is the one thing in life that you really have to think good loooooong and hard about! Your life depends on it!
Like Willwood, really good brakes but ooohhhh soooooo expensive!
wilwood, more expensive than brembo???
what about AP Racing, Alcon, Tar-ox, did i mention Alcon, stop-tech, baer brake systems, AEM, etc etc.
and all of those will be expensive, just like brembo is.
all i am saying is that there are lot of other options out there, not just brembo.
but i understand what you saying hanco - if you can find a set from a scrapped 350, then go for it. not many people in SA will have gold brembo calipers on their sx's!
Yes you are so right VC. I think it will be great.
The expensive part that I am talking bout tho is that the other caliper manufacturers build great calipers but they build calipers that just fit their brake pads and they charge you off the roof for those coz they know the brake pads are consumables and you have to and can only buy the pads from them. So they make their money that way!
