+1 exactly. i never said the brakes sucked or that they looked horrible. i never once mentioned anything about the track. i simply posted the fact the brakes arent made or designed by "Futura". i would hate for someone to pay the premium for white lettering when you can get the same brakes for hundreds possibly thousands less. google it.. phatboy brakes. if i have to **** off a few to help the majority then i guess ill be that jerk.
Just to be clear, Phatboy is just another reseller from the factory.
so if Phatboy is just a reseller, and they can sell these brakes for less than $1k per set and still make money, how much is Alliance/Futura marking these things up?

1. I didn't track my car on a regular basis.
2. The pads that came with the kit were phenomenal for me and my intended uses...i.e. street.
3. I changed pads out once, and I was able to find a Hawk pad that fit with the same backing plate. There were several compounds to choose from though. Horrible selection? Maybe by your standards but not mine.
so is this hatred bc these are a knockoff or bc there sh1tty? Idk anything about brakes to b honest. idk anything about alliance rotora drama or whatever so im lost.

good to hear that they work well. wonder if the pads are worth a crap on those.
