Good point. Are these standardized, like what stoptech is using, or proprietary?

Definitely sounds impressive. Sure like to see what they look like on an actual Z or G.

Here is a few other Megan Racing suspension products I have on. Nice stuff, and I have pretty much tried all of it.

Looking good Scott. I would have gone with the Megans had they been available when I was shopping for a BBK.

I'm also running the Megan coilovers, and have been very impressed with them so far!

How hard will it be to find replacement pads/rotors for this kit?

What kind of pads come with the kit? The MSRP has gone up a bit since last year.

wow Megan Brake Kit is so cool. The best feature about this kit is that the logo grows when taking picture. Awesome.

Thumbs up Wow...

after reading the review on these & researching them, they appear quite tempting. Any chance the calipers come in varying colours?

Might be a sweet upgrade for those who want a BBK but aren't hardcore track fiends.

I suppose coating is always an option...

the brakes are nice, and even i would have to say, for the price i'd go with them, but the coilovers, i like the BC setup more just due to that length of adjuster that comes out the back shocks.
