Just helped a buddy of mine procure a set of Futura Design brakes. This is the 4th set in existence, as they haven't officially launched their line of brakes.

Thanks to Kustomz Unlimited for getting me in short notice and taking special care w/ my car..

Those are some sick brakes I'm really liking those purple calipers and hats! Definitely something different. I can't imagine how much a set of those would cost lol

They remind a lot of the k-sport brakes. Looks good!

Ohhhh ok I just read through that thread about the alliance and phatboy bbks. Still they don't look all that bad. I'd like to see how they perform on the track though.

I'd buy a Nexx bbk but only if the calipers and hats are in white and the etching is gold

lol at 1 of 4.

And look at that wonderful packaging.....lol. Anyone who has bought a stoptech BBK will know what I mean. The ST bbk's come well packed, shrink wrapped and in nice sturdy boxes.

So you paid more for packaging, lol. Good one. These were flawless and packaging was sufficient to keep them flawless.

honestly I doubt I paid more since these are such exclusive, hard to get brakes.

Hows that pad selection treating ya?
Wheres the futura design techical data? contact info? representatives?

The product hasn't officially been released b/c the website isn't finished. Pad selection is fine and you're just making nothing but assumptions at this point.

So pad selection is good for a product that hasn't hit the market, that Futura Design........actually designed?

Or is it that the product already existed, marginal pad selection, and the only thing Futura Design did was slap their logo on it and have it anodized purple?

way to play it safe by using a jack to support the car...

Anything else you'd like to point out, or are you done? The guy in the background is wearing a sweaty t-shirt also.
