First time Ive seen these, could be decent but I dunno if i would trust some chinese reverse-engineered brakes.

I certainly wouldn't trust them.

 

Could be worth someone looking into...

 

I could be convinced with some sponsorship... wink wink!
I track my Z alot, I'd be a great test car.

 

sending it to the tree you mean?

 

You've got a point!

 

Quality Megan racing parts

 

That's funny Rick, considering those are the same EXACT brakes you have on your car Rotora and Megan get the calipers and rotors at the SAME place

 

Really now and which manufacturing facility would this be? It would be a great question to forward to Loren.

Also, the video of course was more of a joke, but it seems as though you missed the point. The brakes have held up for me just fine at road race events and I will be swapping for a new setup soon anyways

 

There's nothing wrong with either one... don't bother changing unless you need more "bling show points" They're no Alcon or Brmebos but they get the job done on street and track. I know of more than one FI Z running the Megan setup with no problems.

 

personally, I'd wait till they figure out how to at least make a test pipe before venturing into trying their brakes

 

+1 Been there, done that, had them crack... switched to APS

 

 

WTF do test pipes have to do with Brakes?! Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Megan or their crap products, but if you're going to sell Rotora brakes and then call the Megan's crap then that's just plain hypocritical

 

03z33 - take a chill for a second. The Megan test pipes have a well founded reputation for not cutting the mustard, and as such, it makes people think twice about their other products. It's an odd thing because for some other cars, their items are decent (Evo 02 housing for example).

As far as them being the same, that's an easy thing to state, but based on the pics that have been posted of Rotora's and the pics Megan has on their site of these, they are not the same.

just from a cursory look, the caliper bridge and the outer casing look completely different

 

Just like Adam to post a comparison picture of a 4-pot vs. a 6-pot I'm sorry, you probably don't know the difference U=D-SUK

 

the whole chinese reverse engineering is unfounded...remember while most cultures were plugging berries in their noses the chinese developed gun powder, lunar calender, and other inventions...

 

+10

 

My friend had a Megan catback exhaust for about a year, no problem and sounded great. But I agree tho, with that price, I'd go with a trusted name like Wilwood.

 

For a cold air intake on a budget, I would perhaps trust megan, for braking though, I would go with a trusted brand. My 0.02 .
