what a great price

 

wow, no one has seen these before?

 

Are those made by Johnny Walker?

 

+1. That website has some good stuff, but i would really like to see some reviews on the kit.

 

+2

 

I can't even get it to come up through google. nothing returns for black label brakes, etc. It doesn't look like the kit was made specifically for the Z, which is why it seems they are including extended wheel studs (to clear calipers?)

if anyone knows the real name it would help (manufacturer)

 

nice looking!

 

HOLY CRAP that is cheap !!! No wonder it is taking me forever to get rid of my BAER brake kit.

 

"He came out a little early, as did Flyer," Bush said. "And instead of chasing the soccer ball, he chased the bird. And it kind of made the turkey nervous. See, the turkey was nervous to begin with. Nobody's told him yet about the pardon I'm about to give him."

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals urged Bush to send the pardoned turkeys to an animal sanctuary, where "they will get the exercise and socialization that they need to live longer, happier lives."

Thanks Motormouth, I crack up at the stupid *** things that PETA comes up with. What will be next, a lawsuit by cows against dairymen for stealing their milk? Don't laugh it will probably happen.

Oh yeah, this is a brake thread, I have to post something relevant, hmmm, wow, those brake kits are cheap!

 

I remember them throwing cows blood on dairy farmers at one point.

don't cows get sick if they are not milked?

 

Yeah they do get sick without milking, but that isn't the point for PETA, they look to make headlines, not actually help. They have a socialist agenda that looks to up-end capitalism, dumbasses.

 

well no, I meant they were protesting dairy farmers, yet dairy farmers milk them to keep them healthy

and they spend lots of money on new and better equipment that is very gentle and they only milk the right amount to keep the cows healthy... so funny they look right past it.

 

wow brakes to farm milk and cows? tough transition....lol......the brakes are really cheap....what's the catch...?

 

WTF..why are you guys talking about cows on a brake thread?

 

That is the real name of the company. They made their own barke kit i guess (that is what they told me when i called). They said all the parts they use are the same a Jay Racing? Here is a link to the company i believe they were talking about.

Reading comprehension is a good thing, give it a try, reread previous posts to discover the secret about from brakes to cows. Sheesh, our education has gone to hell.

 

Mooooooooooo

 

Assuming they are quality parts to begin with... here is something to think about.

I have friends with classic Minis with aftermarket (dare I say big) brake kits that have to buy vented rotors for an MG Turbo Metro and turn them down from 8.4" to 7.5" so they will fit.

Imagine if 30k miles down the road you decide to do a brake job and you can't find the proper parts. Last thing you want is to have to have source rotors or re-lining your pads because the shop closes up and the manufacturer disappears.

In short, make sure the consumables are readily available. (rotors, pads, rubber work, etc.)

yeah, if the rotor sizes are similar or the same to some big name brake kits (or if the kit is manufactured by a name brand company and not some Chinese knockoff) it shouldn't be a problem.

did they even name the brake pad maker? I didn't see it. so will other pads fit? etc.
