Hello all,

I am currently stumped on a set of brakes I have in my possession. Does anyone have a clue as to what company made these??? Seem like they are very high quality...

I can't find an exact match but the style seems like something AP Racing uses. Here is a link to show you they have similar features so I'm not sure if maybe you just have an older model or something along that line.

EDIT: Also seems pretty similar to Project Mu as well.

Thanks for the reply. Yea I've looked up and down for the match and can't seem to find it. I thought the rotor might lead me down the right path but it hasn't shown up either.
They match Endless Calipers almost perfectly until you get to the guide pin and the face of the caliper... I also tried to message the company to see if it had been like an old product and sadly they said it wasn't theirs.. Really need to find out so I can restore and buy all of the parts for it.

Where did you originally source this brake kit from? It might be easier to track down the original user, than try to get a visual ID.

If that's not possible, I might suggest taking them to a local race car prep shop to see if they have any idea...

Good news! Found a match on the rotor hats to be Brembo! Still can't find the caliper though. Leaning towards Brembo as well due to the brake pad guide pin set up.

at one point they were being imported as "phat boy" brakes

came off an assembly line in Taiwan and you can get a logo installed. Dude was doing a startup of "Alliance" as a brand that faltered.

They aren't Alliance... The Alliance brake have the same design as the K Sport / D2 garbage. Look at the differences.

may not be alliance..bolt pattern is similar but some of the curves are not...take off the foam

Yea they match up closer to Endless which is why I started there but I'm leaning towards an older model Brembo. If only there was a master list of calipers made by them somewhere..

Have you contacted Brembo USA and tried to develop a contact there?

After HOURS and HOURS of stalking sites and trying to figure this out I got a lead. So it looks like these calipers/rotors are from a company called Freni-one. Was pretty hard to find much info on the company let alone the brakes... Huge weight lifted off my shoulders!

nice. never heard of.

Are they just a relabeler or do they really make them? Foreign brand?

That's going to be the hard part. Little information about them so far. Emailing them to find out more and hopefully hear some good news.
I'll feel better about keeping them and everything if I find out that they are in fact made in-house! It's not that I won't trust them if I find that they're like Trust, K-Sport, or Stoptech, I just prefer rare pieces.

Are the positions staggered sizes? That should at least tell you if some thought has gone into them.

Yes they are! Still waiting on a reply though.

"Freni One"???

Yer kidding right? Or am I the only one making the connection... "For anyone"? Hahahahaha....

But OK.... "freni" does mean "brakes" in Italian so maybe I'm just LOOKING for the humor.
