the only Z I've seen with the Megan BBK on is Scott from Relentless on his blue Z.
Hard to say much on them without meeting more people with em and listening to their opinions.
A LOT of brands are getting their calipers made overseas by the same factories and just labeling them as their own. Not saying these are bad or good, just stating a fact.
In the end only a few brands actually manufacture their own calipers these days....

I want to know if anyone ever figured out where to get different pads (higher temp) or replacement discs. I'm so very close to deciding what BBK I want to get. Just knowing pad availability would tip me in Megan's direction.

They're not quite there yet.
Got a quota to meet with Project Mu or something?

You are sponsored by Megan and I understand you are doing your part as a candidate to represent the brand but you took my post way out of context.

Then I get side swiped by you about Japan Vs. China on quality.

I don't mean to sound like a d!ck and I apologize if I'm being rude but I feel like you put me in this predicament with your response to my post. I'm just responding accordingly.
FYI: Relentless will sell you any brake kit you want, not just Megan.

To the OP; sorry about the off topic. Moving on....

China and Taiwan are very different places when it comes to manufacturing. And just like anywhere else, there are good factories and bad factories. And bad workers working in good factories, and bad factories manufacturing for good companies.
