I have Brembo full floaters on 2 motorcycles. I know about the rattle.

I have full floating already and would be interested in partial floating as the noise with full floating is really too much for a daily driver. I change from stock to floating just for track events which gets old pretty quickly.

Will be a couple days before video. Decided to fit the rear with a BBK as well and need to machine the caliper brackets first. The rotors are complete..Stand by.

Your objective here is simply to pump your product, you've offerered no real information or useful advice.

Yes AP can make a great caliper, and do is Alcon, and Brembo. And the only way to save money on these kits is skimp on quality or capacity...

So if you're offering something cheaper than the aforementioned kits offered by Stasis, Alconkits, or others, it's because you're likely leaving something on the table. Question is, what? I think if I'm gonna trust my car and my a** to something, it won't be a "kit" put together who's intent is to save money...

In fact I think I can see where... 2 piece calipers, where else?... Inferior product to a monoblock forging... DCNISMO pointed it out.. Didn't Alcon run on most of the ALMS prototypes and Brembo's on all the GT Porsche's? Like him, think I'll go elsewhere too... sheesh...

Well thank you for your well thought out post. Considering this is your first post we can all assume you are trying to hide behind another screen name and bash for no good reason.

If you paid any attention to the posts on this thread you would have easily come across posts that stated that no information would be disclosed as we have not paid advertisement fees for this forum at this time and did not intend to do so unless certain amount of interest was shown in a product like I have mentioned. So your wrong in 'your assumption' that I am here to pump my product and bash other companies. My goal is to see what, if any interest is out there for a 2 piece floating set up of rotors or full competition kit.

I also find it interesting to see that in addition to the above assumption you have so easily made that you also have made assumptions about this kit, who we are and what we do. Pretty ignorant if you ask me.

Your also wrong in your assumption that to offer something cheaper than the other options means that corners need to be cut or sub par parts need to be sold. Actually the parts we use are superior to Alcon and Stoptech. I can assure you that selling parts like this does not save me money. Selling kits like this saves you money as a consumer. We dont jack are prices up through the roof like Alcon, Stoptech and Brembo do. For the price that you can pay for an Alcon street kit we could put together a kit custom tailored to the 370z crowd. Featuring competition calipers, custom full floating rotors (which Alcon, Brembo & Stoptech do not offer BTW) and all associated hardware and brackets etc.

Sure ALMS, Grand AM prototypes use monobloc calipers. Whats your point. AP racing offers single piece monobloc, forged two piece, two piece cast, billet two piece calipers. They have the widest range of rotors and they have a healthy range of calipers as well. Alcon does not offer rotors in different vane counts nore does Stoptech and their calipers are off the shelf units with enlarged piston diameters which most of the time work against keeping factory bias.

Thanks for your comments.

This thread will be closed as of today. As soon as the product is complete it will be released on a new thread in the same section where a GB will be opened.

Cheers guys! Have a Great Thanksgiving!!
