Default alcon brakes

Any one ever use these brakes? I see them on a lot of bmw's and tracked evos but I can't seem to find any vendors or distributors in the us that sell the kit for the z. also wondering how they would stack up to ap racing or stoptechs.

Thats what I am talking about, can't seem to get them in the states. Looks like shipping will be through the roof. I guess I will have to call robispec on monday.

Greddy has two sets of brakes. One set made by the same manufacturer that makes Rotora, and the other set is made by ALCON. Source a Greddy supplier and he should be able to get you the ALCON. But they are special order items. = $$$$$ it's really not worth the money, the wait and the hassle. If your looking for the best deal in brakes get Stoptech.

Yeah it looks like stoptech or ap will be the route I go. I wonder how they compare though.

you cant go wrong with either. i like stoptechs over ap, because the ap replacement parts a more expensive and a little harder to get quickly.
