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.

Do we have pics of the 4 pot rear race caliper?

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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
