Alcon/grex Brakes?

[tribex]

Are the grex trust brakes made by alcon that are on n++g+n and other websites ( not sure if forums allow name posting of suppliers????)

are they the same standards as alcons bought locally through PWR??????

there is a pretty big price difference and im wandering what to buy??

anyone use these grex/trust brakes to suit

r33 GTR??? any advice?? which are better is there a big difference????

cheers.

You're allowed to talk about nengun, no reason you can't.

I don't think those grex brakes on nengun are made by Alcon. The older ones were i believe.

yes and no.

the ones that look like an AP Racing CP5555 are not (these are the smooth ones).

the ones that have alcon and GREX on them are made by alcon (not surprisingly).

the alcons sold by PWR are a different type of alcon again.

JAGR33 has these on his GTR33

And you wont need too many reasons why new the Alcon GREX sell for more then the straight Grex setups, and how new this...

Is the same price as these used

Midori and others all used the Alcon calipers as the basis of their kits and they are all up around the $4,500 for fronts alone

Trust do do packages

GREX alcon (obviously AlCON sourced caliper based solution)

and GREX (internally developed 'budget' brake program with another supplier, not alcon)

Do the cheaper Greddy brakes use a typical pad shape or a unique pad shape????

[Ronin 09]

looks exactly the same shape and style as that which fits my CP5555

the caliper looks the same, even

so what's the mircale answer boys? which ones would you buy?

also, can anyone source the pwr alcon's cheaper than 4500?

or do we all splurge and buy ap's?

[tk80]

anyone?

When it comes to brakes there's no cheap option, you get what you pay for.

I have the Alcon kit (front&rear) supplied by PWR, have never looked back...

Awesome performance for the track, and subtle for the street.

Hope that helps...
