I dare say that would be a question best asked to Brakes Direct.

From the pictures posted it looks like they CNC their own hats and brackets.

At a guess the Alcon rotors would be semi or full floating so better for serious track cars that experience quite high brake temps but probably a bit of overkill (and higher expense) for a street driven car that sees a few track days a year.

Thanks its always nice to hear user feedback if possible. I intend to call them in the morning when they are open.

Do we have pics of the 4 pot rear race caliper?

The rear caliper does not come with the race upgrade option, at-least not with this deal. you can call and ask tho, i suspect it may be much more expensive.

No problem, i just ordered mine now.

I also ordering a custom bracket made up for the rear brembos to space them out to run 350mm DBA 4000, 370z discs, with same pattern as the fronts.

Kit includes 2 brackets and 2 350mm DBA 4000 rotos, for $750.

Are Brakes direct doing the bracket kit for you? that's the way I was going to go but I was sourcing the bracket from the UK at a higher cost.

I'll be using PFC Pads. #11 compound on front, #13 on rear as the piston balance is waay forwards running the stock 40mm rear piston. so attempting to move it back a bit with a higher friction compound.

Yes, they are making the brackets for us in house. I think it was about 140 a bracket, so 280 for the pair? Don't quote me on that tho.

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months

      There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.
