These would be perfect for an occasional track day.. I mean I autoX'd before with stock 2003 non brembos and Hawk HPS pads and they never wore out so something like this for AutoX would be more than enough in my opinion.

I havent tracked them yet because I want to get them installed the right way and the rears on. But I will def post my thoughts on hardcore tracking.

I know the biggest difference between the stock crap brakes is at 120mph I have mucho confidence on braking with enough time and road left.. Stock brakes made me regret going that fast everytime.

Please dont take this the wrong way but are these calipers brand new or refurbished..The price is unreal No hard feelings. You may have a customer regardless. Was also looking at the Megan racing ones. But these are even more affordable than the Megans.

I installed my Kit from Alex and love it!! I need to get the pics up on here asap!!

I ordered the 4 pot with a matching Daytona Blue Caliper... They look so freakin hot, the biggest thing with my experience with Alex besides his unbeatable price is his customer service!!

If I had to recommend someone Alex at ONADIMEPBS would be the first on my list... If you follow the install cd then the installation will come out correct with the bleeders on the top and rotors on the correct side

The red calipers on here look HOT!! I am just waiting for a rear kit to be released from Alex hopefully sometime in the near future to complete the setup.


A+++ for ONADIMEPBS.com

Even better and still cheaper than Megans, get the Wilwood factory kit. 14inch 6 piston , 2 piece rotor fronts and 13inch 4 piston 2 piece rears. Onadime or tcebrakes can get them for you.

Benifits of them over Megan, easily obtainable wear surfaces, huge pad selection, Wilwood specialises in quality brakes.

Under $3k i believe, when i ordered mine i also got extra track specific pads so they were more. PM the two suppliers on here for exact pricing.

Check with your graphics guys Alex, you can get some brushed aluminum for that also. They show up more with larger letters but you get the idea. It doesn't appear quite so "aluminumized" in the small lines however.

Todd,

With the FSL4 calipers they have raised lettering so we polish them (no stickers).

The SL6 calipers that we use need the stickers with the powdercoat. We stock black, silver/reflective, and white but we can basically do any style (just did a filled in reflective red to match a customers G35). We have our stickers programmed to be the exact dimensions as they would be on the original Wilwood calipers so they truly do come out as authentic as possible.

Fully understand. I mill the FSL normally but on orange it would not have shown up well at all. Only suggesting the brushed aluminum finish over white- if you have it available then you're good to go.
