Question

Any body tried them? Has anyone any experience of the kits?..

I had an email off a certain company, that I wont mention due to advertising rules, that are soon to be offering these kits..

had a look at the yank website- www.thebrakeman.com and they look insane..

any thoughts?

ta.

Apparently Bikers have had similar for years, but yes they do look rather awesome

TSL have been doing these for a while too, I think. They seem to recommend them, so they can't be bad. Someone on here must have tried them.

Hi everyone!

We are now working with Brakeman as the UK Distributor and are currently awaiting a set to test on our car before launching them on our sites.

Watch this space!

Im willing to give em a test for you Jamie
Im about to have a shedload of mods fitted (mid-end sept, the bits are stacking up and taking up space currently) and it should quite happily be pushing 330bhp+

Im looking at brakes currently- currently thinking about AP's or Brembo as my current setup will not cut the mustard when the work is complete...

I'm sure we could come to some sort of launch deal!

Believe me, people will be shocked at how good these things are!
