Yep

I know VERY few people on Zilvia who REALLY NEED more than Z32 setup front and rear

And I mean REALLY NEED more than that

Spend money on better pads and rotors or something

Can someone negative rep me too

Give it your best shot

i didn't read the full thread. But they have this kit already on there 350z. If it fits on the 350Z/Z33 its a bolt-on affair for s-chassis.

SAY NO TO KNOCKOFFS.

Like everyone else says, you can get a full z32 setup for a tad over 1k.
If you need more than that, get a full STi Brembo setup for a bit more.


If you need anything better than that, you're doing some heavy trackwork
and you wouldn't put megan shit on your car anyway.

Tearlessj

The megan is front and rear.

I didn't neg rep zar I gave him positive rep. I mean just look at his post, he went fucking off. I mean where else can you find a post like that, other than zilvia. Good stuff!

Ninjabread

I guess there's not much more I can add other than why the flying fcuk would you pay 3000$ for knockoff brakes?

I can understand buying a 60$ manifold because it's cheap, tubing is tubing and regardless of what people say, they have gotten somewhat better in their strenght.

BUT

Brakes? I mean there must be something wrong in you to want knock off BRAKES.If you want to spend 3000$ to go flying into a wall and kill yourself:

buy megan racing breaks!

It's brakes and they are cheaper than $3k.

Buy quality JDM you are a fan boy. Buy cheap china shit you are a ricer. lol

Anyways I will post once I am done building my evo for the 08 season and we can battle on the track. None of this gay internet shit. Zar can you get to any eastcoast tracks or we can run touge. This is friendly shit it will be fun sti vs evo. I am not as bad of a guy that some of you think I am. lol

Ninjabread

I don't think people are ragging you. It's more the idea of kock off brakes that is retarded.

Megan should learn from hotshots. A manufacturer selling their product on ebay and in group buys at jobber pricing leaving local shops no alternative but to stop selling them.

Oh and here is something you guys might find interesting.... Little bird says AEM is liquidating DC Sports products to jobbers. Wonder what that means. HEHEHE

I cant wait to see the carnage when one of these cheap sand cast brembo knockoff calipers fucking splits because of molding lines or bad alloy and some dumbass flings himself off of a goddamn cliff. The best part about that is there will just be another jackass right after him that will put those parts on his car...and they will fail...and he will die...just over and over again. I would not buy megan anything but if I were that shit is not something I would put my life on thier suspension links fail and if you cannot build a fucking heim jointed arm properly you sure as hell sould not be building brakes.

I also agree with the fact that a large portion of the Zilvia community doesn't even need Z brakes let alone anything more then that.

0100 I think that cutting your own head off would work better as a weight reduciton on your evo then putting on a fucking Ti STB

This thread is gayer then Richard Simmons and Boy George making out at an N'Synch concert

wtf @ this disaster of an idea

brakes are really important for stopping and stuff
please don't use megan parts for brakes

cgguy

Someone already mentioned on the last page that K-Sport makes a big brake kit. If you want real garbage then buy these.....why bother with Megan?

UfoZ8myCow

Just for the record, and this goes for everybody, "brakes" and "breaks" are two different things. Learn to spell goddamnit!!!

Break (verb): 1.to smash, split, or divide into parts violently; reduce to pieces or fragments: He broke a vase. 2.to infringe, ignore, or act contrary to (a law, rule, promise, etc.): She broke her promise.
ETC

Brake (noun): 1.a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle or other moving mechanism by the absorption or transfer of the energy of momentum, usually by means of friction. 2.brakes, the drums, shoes, tubes, levers, etc., making up such a device on a vehicle. 3.anything that has a slowing or stopping effect.

WARRENTIES MAKE NO DIFFERENCE IF THEY ARE PICKING YOU OFF THE GROUND WITH A SHOVEL

Why bother wiht these things, i rather spend 500-1000$ extra and know i got the shit... not shit lol.

Otherwise better than ksport or megan kit would be arizona z car bbk with willwood calipers and custom two piece lightweight rotor hats etc...

i wana go all out on my car, my 240 is a porsche, so itll have to be 14" and 6piston stop techs or ap racing (unless there's something better and lighter). 30k long term project budget baby... I will smite porsches off the face of the earth :P

Also for the hardcore hardcore lol, if you have baller 19" rims, you can fit the same kit as for the f430 and other such luxurious supercars. 8 piston and 15" rotors (brembo makes such a bbk im sure stop tech and ap racing have it too).

The thing about more pistons is just more equal clamping force as far as I know, so better feel too. Bigger rotors, less to no brake fade and of course more torque/braking power. And of course if it's aluminum/forged/other sexy materials and two piece rotor = lighter/stronger.

I used to think like that... megan racing way i mean. Now I think big bux only lol. Cheap out now, you'll pay out later, pay out now, you'll enjoy more and forever later. As much as you invest is as much as you'll get back. I spent so much on the car to 'restore it', kind of cheapening out BUT AGAIN it was NOT CHEAP!! Now if I think back and look at the plan i have in hands, i could have rebuilt the car with the parts I actually WANT now... and would have spent maybe 2000$ more but would have had the best there is instead of 'saving', when now ill be spending double that again.

Then again, megan racing is really trying... i don't doubt they have some 'quality' parts lately... i just dont want to save 100$ on some part then regret later.

Bud Brown

muthafuxin agreed.

people that care about not buying knockoffs are people that care about quality, product support, and knowledge in proper R&D. i can tell that you are a tool, which is why none of the above really matter to you. you're just a "consumer" who's job is to pinch pennies spending money on the shittiest, blingiest turd you can buy. it doesnt matter if its a knockoff, right? as long as its cheap and as long as it works.

in order for good companies to stay in business, its crucial that there is some type of honor system. the customers that support them, are the ones that keep that business in business. in return, the company is fully responsible for their product and is in business to not only handle any types of problems or maintenance, but also continue to innovate and release improved versions, etc. but anyway, it really doesnt matter.. does it? as long as you save some dough, you're happy. regardless if that means you buying an inferior product, which is why i think you're an asshole.

i wonder, do people really understand what it means to have a good business model anymore? or is it all about making a huge profit in selling garbage.


the other thing i'de like to see, is how much does this brake system weight? really, how much R&D was put into this product? personally, i chose to remain with a 16x8 wheel setup, go with a wilwood front brake kit that fits in my 3-piece wheels, and chose tires that stick like crazy (re01r). all in the name of weight savings.

i really am curious how much that pile of turd weighs. not to mention, in my early days.. ive warped plenty of made in ROC rotors.. i can only wonder how quality these components are.

enjoy them on your 240. you'll never drive that turd in the canyons the way it should be driven, so what do i care.

lucky7

you want cheap? wilwood makes a 13", 4 pot kit for the fronts. its about $1k.



i couldnt roll on those simply because they say 'megan racing' on the calipers. eww.

Actually Megan does have these brakes available for our cars. I won't say who makes them for megan but they're a top notch company in the brake industry and you will not be let down. I've sold a few sets to 350z guys who road race and they've always been satisfied. If anyone is interested in a set let me know and I can set it up.

guess what, that 1% of the time that they fail, you get splattered against a wall. brakes are the #1 thing that people should not cheap out on. 99% of all 240 owners do not need that much braking power, they just want it for the bling factor, and I'm willing to bet that you don't need anything more than stock brakes and some good brake fluid and pads.

you don't know anything about braking, do you? bigger brakes do not give you shorter stopping distances. every car with disk brakes (maybe even if they have drums all around too), has enough braking power to lock up the tires. it is the tires, brake bias and suspension that determines a cars stopping distance. if you do the test you described, you will find that the stopping distance will be the same for all 4 options and will be the same as stock brakes. The purpose of larger brakes is to reduce fade. brakes convert motion into heat, and they have to dissipate that heat or the brake fluid will boil. larger brakes have a greater heat capacity and are able to dissipate heat more easily. you will only notice improved braking from a BBK in a track-type setting, where you have repeated, hard braking.

didn't feel like reading 3 pages of BS.

Hell no, MR would not go on for my brakes. if they can't make a fucking downpipe right, why the hell would i trust them with something as critical as my brakes.

i bought one MR product, back in the day durring their debut. the short shifter they told everyone to just "loosten the bolts" on. so you could get it into gear but it would pop out.

MR FTMFL. i have R33's all around. work fantastic, were cheap as hell (in comparison) and i can upgrade and replace everything quick and easy.

i will not reccomend anything MR to anyone ever. sorry.

drewc87

arent z32 brakes big enough?

daryl337

and who says they will be picking you off the ground with a shovel? If you are responsible with your car and maintain your brake systems regularly, you should be able to catch any problems with them before they are remotely close to detremental. Got a caliper leaking? Get off your lazy arse and fix it!
