dont be so rough on the guy, its not often that a company rep spends the time to post on forums, atleast he is here to answer questions about his products, which is more than i can say for most companies


youd be suprised how many of the supposed big name high end companies have all their parts manifactured in china or taiwan, then just assemble the parts themselves and charge huge markups

You're joking right?

Do me a favour and spend some time in the race car tech forum. Learn to read posts from the senior racers we have. You'll quickly learn that Brembo is not selling superior brake kits; they're selling their big name. Most of their real racing stuff is not available for sale to us; you can't afford them anyways.

Brembo has diluted themselves so much recently. They're focused on selling their name to cheap production cars as opposed to making good racing brakes.

Small companies like Endless, Stop Tech, Racing Brake are actually trying hard to make a difference and a name for themselves. I'm not saying these small companies make better brake kits than Brembo, but saying that "all they do is try and copy Brembo" is just plain ignorant. Do some research before you bash.

Please stop leg humping Brembo.

^^

I trust what I see at work and fact is just a tour around the Speed GT Challenge Paddock and you won't see many people running Brembo brakes, however you will see a majority of Stoptech brakes.

When you move up to the ALMS Carbon Ceramics those are Brembos.

Brembo at least realized from the business aspect of things that developing a caliper for the Evo, Sti, GTR brings in alot more revenue than trying to sell an aftermarket kit for said cars.

Xendo if you want to be recognized eventually there will be only one way to get your name out there and that is to supply a willing race team owner with equipment for real life testing.

Good luck, you'll hardly never get that response because this forum "most times" are full of nothing but speculators and people who purely judge products without actually having experienced the product 1st hand. Ignorance is bliss. I bet I huge percentage of the ones here defending the well known brake manufacturers here don't truly know where the products are actually made from. LOL!!!!!!
