These Alliance ones look purty for sure.

I doubt this fact will deter anyone who's giving this kit any serious thought. They are just catering to the show/poser crowd who are looking for the cheapest way to have something pretty behind their wheels. The pictures of all those cars with these brakes installed speak volumes.

I could care less about how a BBK looked, although proper braking components look good by default. I've never even heard of this "company" before. I'll stick with a track-proven Brembo/StopTech/Alcon setup, thanks.

I was thinking the same, personally.
