try em...sell them if you don't like them.....maybe they are a hidden gem and you can help many people by taking the plunge.....VRT tested Megan's brakes to a surprisingly good review...maybe these will be good

If you don't even trust D2 for your suspension, would you really want to put your life in their hands by installing their brakes?

If you are just buying it to look cool then buy it - it should at least work.

If you are tracking your car and need better brakes start off with better pads and fluid on new rotors - if that isn't enough buy a brake kit from a company that actually tests it's products on the track to see if it works.

There is a reason companies like Brembo/AP/Alcon/Stoptech etc have ENGINEERS on staff.

<<<has strong opinions about cheap crap calipers from unknown sources

that's not even close

Rotora and Megan are chinese knockoffs

Brembo calipers are made in Italy - it's unlikely they are whoring it out to Rotora or whomever

Greddy is a rebadged and polished Alcon iirc
