![]() um no. can you read japanese? the lower price is the only thing that's limited to the first 86 sets. all remaining sets after that will be the full $12k price. |

Just as it was my opinion when I stated Endless > TRD preceded with a <3 (heart) sign.. I'm sure the TRD kit that people are comparing this (price) too is also a fantastic kit. And will far exceed what 99% of the owners need. In other words.. it is all different opinion. I have quite a bit of track time with Endless, Project Mu, AP, Brembo, Stoptech, Performance Friction, etc.. I just prefer Endless. I have had good experience with most of them fwiw. It is my profession to be on circuit. I'm not pulling this out of my ass or by watching races on tv. for example - today I was playing with 400mm carbon brakes on a MP4-12C.Endless, Brembo, Alcon, AP, etc., etc... all make quality products. Again, most drivers/owners never even need that level of braking performance to begin with. But, people are going to buy what they want and can afford for their car. Take care.

How about 'They have had more success at higher level motorsports than Endless.'?

What are you using to source who wins what? What do you consider "high level motorsports"? Do you really believe that brakes were the only winning factor for your references? I guess that the driver, team and every other part on the car had no relevance, right? Give me a link to some stats on AP winning more "high level motorsports" than Endless. Follow that link up with Endless being overpriced heeps of junk.. Please. Come on, man. It's your opinion plain and simple. No, wait! Endless, Brembo and Alcon are shitty and 100% inferior to AP.. ![]() Have a good one. |

If you have positive experiences with the brake brand in question on the street and on the track, and as a result are a fanboi, that's awesome and your opinion counts in this thread. If you have bad experiences with the same brand on the street and track, and as a result you're a hater, your opinion counts as well. But if you are hating on a brand with a racing pedigree when you yourself have no experience with said brand, you are just as bad as the blind fanboi, and cluttering the thread with trash. If you hate on one brand for making a ultra high end bbk when all the brands are doing it, you're being biased. And if you hate on one brand and love another, even though the brand you love is a subsidiary of the brand you hate, you are not contributing anything of value to the thread, and only adding clutter. Humbly recognize that your lack of knowledge and experience prevents you from contributing anything of worth to the thread and don't post until you do have something of worth. |

Endless makes some of the best brake systems but in this case, I believe there are better value (better performance is a question mark since I have no experience with any brake kit for now) from AP Racing or other vendors for the price they are charging on this special 86 kit.
Personally, I think the car works fine with a floating 2 piston caliper, uprated pads, brake lines and high temp brake fluid for its 200 odd whp setup.

My quoted phrase was not all I posted, I let readers know that actual WRC brake setups can be had for less, thats a contribution beyond the fluff in your post. Look here: http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/2.html Take your righteousness elsewhere and 'humbly' dont post rants toward people. EDIT: 'socal'

No, you stated more of your opinion. It's ok, it's not worth the time posting back and forth.. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what my opinion is. Or yours. But, stating things as fact is silly at best.
I've run Endless brakes on several track vehicles for the last seven years. They are not inferior or overpriced to me or any of my clients. Nor did anyone ever say "that car is fast but would be better off with AP btakes". You know why? Because it's ridiculous. :happy0180: Last edited by ill86; 08-03-2012 at 10:48 AM. |
