Hey guys,
In my last post I showed you a braking kit from Rotora front + rear (I really like kits upgrading the rear caliper, I have a fixation with upgrading the rear caliper cuz 1 piston slider calipers are gayyy, just my personal opinion, f.off
), and some people discarded it hard because "it`s low cost so it`s low quality". I finally got an answer from Alcon, very reputable company with products matching Brembo / AP in quality (or so alot of people online who tested them say!).
Front: 410x34 6 piston
Rear (several options but will go with): 380x28 4 piston
"Hi. We do have a 6/4 kit with the RC calipers. It is special order.
Front has 410mm rotors. Rear has 355-400mm rotors. Photos of the front below.
Cost is around $3800 for the front and $3200 for the rear kit. Delivery could take 4-5 weeks depending on backlog."
Still waiting for their solution regarding the Electronic Parking Brake integrated in the stock rear caliper, might have to buy an aftermarket EPB (was quoted 1000 USD for Belfe from somewhere else).
For me, this option is the final choice and the golden goose. Price / quality / performance ratio is a dream. AP is planning to release a front + rear kit in the following months but probably with calipers without dust boots, for the track, bad for a daily car, driven year round; and certainly way more expensive; maybe better for hardcore tracking but certainly 0 improvement on the street compared to this Alcon kit.
P.s.: added a pic comparing the stock Plaid with 20 inch rims to a 6 series with 20 inch rims with the 400mm RC6 (410mm will fit 20 inch and the visual difference will be even bigger)
