Mustang GT Brembos

Am I reading this wrong? Are you saying that Aarons brackets are only for looking good?

Well for the most part but really I think the main advantage is weight savings. I don’t have any issues stopping my SHO. Do I need better brakes? No. Do I want better brakes? One day...but for just a caliper upgrade for 1200 no. Again the weight savings is more of interest to me even though they do look amazing. If this was say $800 I would be interested. But for 1200 I would rather pay more for a completely functional set of wilwood rotors and calipers/pads. I think it’s too close to the price of the real deal to make the jump. But also in my case having a 2010 it would be much more with 13+ knuckles and rotors...then the brackets and calipers. If it’s worth it to you go for it. At this point in time with my plans I would rather put that towards internals/fuel upgrades/cooling,etc. I want it all honestly...the caliper upgrade is lower on the priority list for me. But yeah back to what I said....I’ve never felt like...oh no will I be able to stop...never. And I pound the shit out of my car.

Just because it’s funny, I want to point out Sksho17 is now the all time like to message count leader with an astounding 8-1 ratio. Beat that chumps!

sorry, carry on.

Don’t mind me guys I’m just here to watch the guys that spend $3300 for bigger wheels crammed into worthless OEM turbo housings preach value to the rest of us

 

[Angrymongoose]

Except that those turbos are definitively proven to produce much much more power than the stockers are capable of.

So that argument about value there is a big swing and a miss.

Now Im not gonna get on bashing the brakes here, but the turbo point of yours makes no sense at all.

Yeah! Lol I just want to grab mine...ok now rant about turbos you wish you had

 

[High on Ethanol]

Hmmm

 

[802SHO]

What I want to know is...who spent 3300 on them? I spent 2000, 1900 for the turbos and 100 to have them ported.

 

[Jordan_R]

Yeah, hmm I didn't spent $3300 either and not to mention the product was already proven. Didn't need consumer testing.

Everyone needs to go back and like his post. Lets see how high we can get him!

 

[stripSHO]

Okay guys we’ll leave the core charges out of it if you’d like, and forgive me for not realizing GH turbos are cheaper (I was basing off ATPs). Okay so you paid $2k for four wheels and housing machining. That may be great to y’all but it would take a lobotomy to get me to agree. I’d sooner drop the turbos altogether and go to nitrous. Point is, different strokes for different folks.

 

[Jordan_R]

That's probably the worst comparison in the history of comparisons

That’s big of you to admit. But are you referring to your spiel about your flat cuts of sheet metal, or the asinine comparison of a single dragy stop?

Nice catch stripSHO my thoughts exactly. You mean you wouldn't want to load your family up in a car that had waterjet cut sheet metal brackets for $100 anchoring your calipers to the knuckle? Obviously the people designing these $100 sheet metal wonders know a thing or two about safety, stress calculations, and modern manufacturing methods.
Also apparently most on this forum page know that repeated and consistent braking performance isn't what's import, its a single stop measured on different elevations with cars of different weights and that lighter, stronger and improved brake components aren't important either, its all for looks.
I'm glad I didn't sponsor the member that has cast so much shade my way. Having implications made that i was trying to hustle members out of hundreds of $$ is utter BS as my mission statement has always been quality, performance and value when trying to bring new products to market for my personal SHO and the community.

Speaking of water jet... Do you think it would be beneficial to reproduce the belly pan in aluminum with proper vents and double as a skid plate?

That's crazy that the entire amount of data on the brake "upgrade" is only that dragy stop. No further testing it's on the consumer to pay out the ass for solely a caliper upgrade and then provide data. Comparing upgraded turbos that increase the efficiency of the turbos and actually increase the life of them due to less wgdc with actual proven results is completely comparable.

You increased the prices on both items you sell. You're brackets were $400 a piece and Lee did so much testing for you for you to charge him full price still. So $400 to $600 on those brackets that do basically nothing until I am proven otherwise and then your intercooler which now has a $400 group buy price that was originally $400 to begin with. It's universal intercooler ebay piping cut to fit and you bead rolled it lol. I guess you overlooked the part where I said I have a buddy who runs a DMG MORI mill and said he could make those brackets for a fraction of the price with a CAD file already made up.

And on top of that you never had the opportunity to sponsor me. You wanted me to tote your products for you while me still having to pay for an aspect of it you don't produce or sell. You wanna run my intercooler kit? Cool, but you gotta go on amazon and buy that intercooler. You want to run my brake adapters? Cool, but you gotta buy up those calipers off Lee. I'll give you the fact that you tried an ungodly amount of times to get me to do something with you but I am not going to run products I don't think make a difference and on top of that I am not going to run products that price gouge the heck out of this platform.

My coffee's gone cold
I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The forum clouds up my windows
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be gray
But my pedal on the firewall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

Dear SHOforum members , I wrote you, but you still ain't likin'
I left my sold car, my truck in my signature at the bottom
I sent two hundred posts back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
There probably was a problem at the server or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble ip addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, f it, what's been up, man? How's your car?
My truck's turbo' d too, I'm 'bout to take it farther
If I have another car, guess what I'ma call her?
I'ma name her Shelby
I read about your blown engine too, I'm sorry
I had an engine **** himself over some boost who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground meth that you did with Wham!
I got windows full of your posts and your memes, man
I like the pass you did in Mexico too, that was phat
Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, the Man

I give this thread a 10/10 for entertainment. I actually spent so much time engrossed in this thread my leg fell asleep while on the ***.

Bravo gentlemen!

 

[High on Ethanol]

All I gained from this is that people are refunding cold air intakes because they cost too much and aren't proven.


OH yeah and some crappy song from a guy who sells the REAL PP steering wheel.

P. S. I need this thread to be legendary. I'm bored.

 

[802SHO]

This isn’t about if your caliper brackets to add wilwood calipers is going to be beneficial....it’s about the sole price of your brackets. How many brackets have you sold @aaron240 ? At some point if items aren’t selling that’s not generating any income either. Would you be so kind as to show us these $600 brackets? I’ve seen them before I just want another look.
