Man Thunderhill is a FUN track! I've been there once last summer and it was a blast and I can't wait to go back! I've gotta save up some money to get a BBK because my non-brembo's just aren't shedding heat quickly enough. They would only make it through about 15 minutes of the 25 minute runs we had before the brakes are gone. Glad to know a front BBK will be a big help here...

These saved 47 POUNDS off the stock 370z base model braking system.
I know those brakes...those are BRAKE MAN products! They helped me find some parts for my wilwood kit. The people over at Brake Man really know their stuff when it comes to stopping. Im just surprised that they dont heavily market their stuff. They mostly appeal to real racers and hardcore track enthusiasts.

They have some really nifty technology like STEEL rotors versus cast iron. One of the times I visited their shop, they showed me one of their steel rotors. This thing was at least 14" and i was extremely surprised with how light they were. Their stuff is seriously top notch. Im highly considering purchasing one of their kits in the future.

^^^ Never seen that particular rotor/caliper setup until this point. Definitely a wierd looking combo, yet original. Im curious to know how they perform compared to other premier BBK setups.

Mike, I must say that I am particularly blown away with the Alliance BBK. My Brother Joe (SILKZ03 on this site) has the 8 piston/4 piston setup in blue. Everything about these brakes is flawless, and the quality is superior to many that I have seen in person. Definitely a thumbs up to you guys for puting out a great product. I'll get em' to post up a pick...

EDIT: His setup is an 8 piston/6 piston Alliance BBK setup.

I want you to know that my average-run-of-the-mill night has just become the best one ive had so far this year (outside of partying ) due to this comment. I get compliments all the time for our work with Alliance, but yours just hit the mark.

thanks a lot. we truly believe in the Alliance brand and what it will do to reshape the BBK world for Zs and eventually other performance cars; provide a high performance brake system on the track and road that outperforms the competition, looks better than any other kit on the planet, providing years of problem-free service, and doing all of this for a fraction of the price of other brands.

Joe, my man!!! WHEEEW DAWG... Everytime I see the Ride, my heart literally skips a beat. Ya know, the truth is, I knew you had an 8 piston/6 piston setup... I don't know why I put 8/4. This week has definitely taken it's toll on me for sure! Your machine just reiterates exactly what I was referring to earlier in full detail. Every piece is meticulously constructed to perfection (in this case your BBK setup), for example. I was and am TRUELY blown away by the attention to detail that has been put into the Alliance BBK rotor and piston setup, finish, and function, as I explained to Mike earlier. Had to have you post up for the guys to see exactly what I was talking about. What a true work of art indeed! Those Alliance Big Brake Kits are the shiet! So uh... When are you gonna stop taking all of those guys trophies down there and when do I get my keys back???

Bro, we woulda cleaned up house and that's REAL TALK. Hell, you already doing it now. I noticed nobody wants to park by you when you lay her down in the hot spot. Our day is coming. I told you it would... My baby is taking a road trip to Texas and we will do our shoot. Instead of cleaning up Hawaii, well sweep Texas, besides My Fam lives about 5 hours away from where you and the Family will be. I did sell you short didn't I... I'll make up for it with some Coronas and Bud Lights cause the beer is on me Brother!

You have no idea. Joe literally makes chicks cream their panies as they walk down the sidewalks of Waikiki. Pics just don't do her justice.
