Cool 8 pot better then 4 mini pot Endless? ...anyone heard of G4?

Well, these look like a killer price because they include a two peice rotor and I can use my 17's but who the heck are they? AP Racing pads acan be used as replacements or direct from them.

G4 8 Piston Brake Kit

"For drift and street applications."

Anyone else see this as overkill? I guess if the price is right...

No, the only advantage to multiple pistons is to achieve a more constant force over a larger pad.

What Tyler said

I'd like to add that for that money, you could also ask a forum member, who I don't recall the forum name, for his A2Z kit. It's made by the same factory as Endless. The caliper has 6 pistons. This kit would have more parts availibility, ie seals.

However, to be honest, my choice'd be the StopTech kit. Why? They could be the only BBK manufacture that design their kit specificly for each cars. If you'd like more info why that's important, you could check out many articles from their website.

Good Luck

OK, StopTech isn't bad at $2250 when Endless is like $3250 or something like that when you add two peice rotors but the G4 is only $1850. So if it isn't necessarily better, then there's no justifying a more expensive price, but (it isn't worse either and) it's actually cheaper. So the only question is how good is the G4 brand and will it throw off the F/R bias?

Stoptech's are only $1900....they are extremely high quality and result in a proper f/r bias. I've never heard of G4. Where do you get parts to service them? How do you know what bias will result? The point is, we don't know these things.

G4 is a big brand from Australia, just starting to come over here.

I'll stick with my OEM 4 pots for now.
