Awesome; Care to enlighten what separates the Endless Kit from the TRD? Do you have personal experience with this TRD set? According to the manufacturer claims, they are both Monobloc Calipers, except TRD is 6-pot front, and true 4-pot rear; which in and of itself provides both pros and cons. Other than that.....

I mean, if you plan on buying a $25K car and adding $10K+ bling bling brakes...why not just get a fucking Porsche? They already come with big blingy brakes!

They're not really "Bling Blingy Brakes". Thay actually serve a purpose. Companies like TRD/Endless are involved in racing and develop they're products in house or co-op and resale them to recoupe losses/turn a buck.

Considering the age demographic of the 86 (Entry Level Sports Car), there will be a variant of disposable income to be had. Considering the Race Grouping of this car... needless to say, products like these will sale regardless of the cost.

However, I mostly agree with your statement Orbital. For $8K, you can have the upgraded Carbon/Carbon brake package on the Z06 Corvette. Difference is, now you're in a different type of car and financing bracket.

...and now you have it...

I can think of maybe a dozen cars that will actually need this much braking force/capacity. Mine is not one of those cars. O_O

you may get what you pay for to a degree, but just because endless races doesn't mean this is the best kit out there. It seems really quick for any kit to be released that is truely designed for this car. I suspect that they took an off the shelf caliper with a standard piston size, and made a mounting bracket. That's not exactly the same as maximizing the braking system with high dollar parts. brake bias, pistons size, brake booster, etc all have to be addressed. For $8k you could get tilton pedals, master cyl, and really nice billet calipers with upsized rotors for the car.

Not saying these are junk, but until someone unbiased tests them, I wouldn't think this is the best use of $8k...

While I agree with part of your statement, there is a lot lacking in knowledge there. It is because they race and are heavily involved in testing their own product that they feel this is the best braking component for use on the 86 without having to modify the rest of the braking system; which could lead over $10K in personal R&D, Labor, Track time, etc. Especially to noobs.

Monobloc tends to mean Billet or Aluminum....
