Upgraded brakes
 
Anyone know much about Alcon Racing brakes? Found a set of brakes available... they're not too bad on price in comparison to some other companies.

They have a 6 piston billet monoblock front caliper and a 4 piston cast monoblock caliper in the rear.

what vendor or supplier did you find them through? I know Alcon is a top level brake manufacturer and would also be interested in looking at the set up. do you have any links?

You'll need to do a bit of research on where the kit comes from, what sort of engineering/testing was applied during development, and what the intended purpose of the kit was meant to be.

Alcon is a true braking products manufacturer that competes very well in top level racing against the likes of Brembo and AP Racing. Unlike Brembo though, neither AP nor Alcon have a dedicated aftermarket program in the US. Both have a number of distributors who provide products and support within the US market, AP Racing and Brake Pro's being most well known relationship supporting the aftermarket, Stasis for Alcon (making brake kits primarily for Audi and a few other misc. vehicle models), but there is nothing that fully connects either companies full resources and abilities 100% to the high performance aftermarket.

If you post a link to where you saw the kit, or share a few images/specs, I may be able to help you identify exactly what you are looking at.
