Hahaha i like it, its cool....

No, i wouldnt, but still.... they look real!

aZk.

[BANKS]

The priceless moment would be when your boasting about them to ya mates and then one falls off... catches on fire... then melts into a puddle of hilarious red goo lol

[Astranomical]

The big question is - why would you bother? And what would happen if, like you said, one was to fall off? Thats what I'd be scared of, anyway.

[Torquative]

undecided

the Brembo is just a wank factor so no, but if you after red callipers this could be an easy and cheap effective way to do it opposed to paint.

I found when I painted mine the red lost colour real quick because of brake dust, even tho I was cleaning it once a week with a high pressure hose, which is why Im hesitant to do it again. Because I have the SS-V/SV6 style rim where the calliper is clearly visible it would be good to make them red.

As for this as an idea Im still a bit hmm, I mean bascially "if they dont fit just glue them". Would hate to see them after some heavy braking, or worse, see them come free and fly off inside the rim at 110 kph

[BANKS]

yeah i was thinking about that aswell. it doesnt say if there plastic or metal. I'd have my money on plastic which means they'd melt and **** your discs and pads up... $1 well spent

[Astranomical]

I personally just don't like the idea of sticking useless crap on the only piece of equipment on a vehicle which can slow it down or stop it that isn't designed to have useless crap stuck on it, thats all. If you want to have cool looking brakes, save your money and get the real deal.

I wonder if their is a trademark infringement in there somewhere.......

good point, although it is not an actual product that brembo produces it is using a trademark or likeness...but realistically counterfeiting brands is one of the things ebay is known for. i would want a pretty good legal disclaimer if i was this guy, as someone said it wouldnt be nice to have one come flying off at 100km/h

i got given these for christmas

i had to pretend i liked them, and have said they won't fit on the commodore, but i'll put them on my next car for sure!

stupid fscking things, wonder how long it'd take them to melt? (to whoever asked, they are plastic)

[VH commodore]

haha this reminds me, i saw fake massive racing disk brakes at autobarn the other day...they go in between the wheel and the disk...A i dont think that would be very safe (just like wheel spacers) and B ppl would realise there is no caliper clamping the disk lol.

[BANKS]

i wonder if anyone has crammed as much of this cheap nasty looking **** as possible into a car? if ebay, supercheap and autobarn combined to make the ultimate **** box


ford.... lol had to say it

[Skitz]

Sad,
At some point you are going to look the fool if you fit them to your car.
It's amazing what some will resort to selling.

Oh man, i feel for you :-/ I'm guessing they didn't like you too much, to give you those for xmas? :-/

[Troy711]

lol, i reported it to brembo via their website. hopefully someone gets done for copyright infringment

[xlr8_87]

Oh man, i feel for you :-/ I'm guessing they didn't like you too much, to give you those for xmas? :-/

unfortunately it's not that!

was from some family friends who know i like cars, but don't know jack about them

[Bilbs]

omg, i cant believe this guy has even sold any at all, i wanted bigger brakes, but too poor for the BIG ones, so for less than 190, i had VY Front brakes with new rotors and pads, and a brand new i" master cyl, and im sure theese will last longer than these things, and better yet, they actualy make the brakes work better lol, btwTorquative, i painted mine red when i put them on, about 8 months ago, and they are still red, well, where the paint is anyway, i didnt clean them properly when i did them, and it has flaked off, so i might get some kits, sand blastem, re paint, and re kit them some time soon, same with the rotors, but i wont bother, im gonna replace them with dimpled and slotted ones (dimples are better for street, no cracking around the holes)

[emmanuelk]

Can't believe people actually buy these!!! Good for driving miss daisy maybe!!!
