Alcon Brake Upgrade Group Buy

[«Cyph3r»]

I dare say that would be a question best asked to Brakes Direct.

From the pictures posted it looks like they CNC their own hats and brackets.

At a guess the Alcon rotors would be semi or full floating so better for serious track cars that experience quite high brake temps but probably a bit of overkill (and higher expense) for a street driven car that sees a few track days a year.

Thanks its always nice to hear user feedback if possible. I intend to call them in the morning when they are open.

The rear caliper does not come with the race upgrade option, at-least not with this deal. you can call and ask tho, i suspect it may be much more expensive.

No problem, i just ordered mine now.

I also ordering a custom bracket made up for the rear brembos to space them out to run 350mm DBA 4000, 370z discs, with same pattern as the fronts.

Kit includes 2 brackets and 2 350mm DBA 4000 rotos, for $750.

Are Brakes direct doing the bracket kit for you? that's the way I was going to go but I was sourcing the bracket from the UK at a higher cost.

I'll be using PFC Pads. #11 compound on front, #13 on rear as the piston balance is waay forwards running the stock 40mm rear piston. so attempting to move it back a bit with a higher friction compound.

Yes, they are making the brackets for us in house. I think it was about 140 a bracket, so 280 for the pair? Don't quote me on that tho.
