Sinifm Neutral Newbie December 1, 2009 Share December 1, 2009 Some of those folks at VAG are using XYZ brake kit. Brake build quality looks decent for this price (low-mid 2k depending size and rotor type). Sung beng (google it) is carrying them. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/cbx...19092009976.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/cbx...fs/IMG_0214.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/cbx...iperMounted.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achtung 6th Gear December 8, 2009 Share December 8, 2009 Lotsa fake APs. Saw them at my friend's garage in Taipei. We were laughing cause there were many car crashed attributed to the pariah APs. So beware when u see cheap AP. They might not be the real McCoy. aiyo if mid 2k might as well just top up another 1k + and get project mu . or i have a friend able to bring in AP racing brake sets at very attractive prices. pm me your make and model and i ask if he got anything compatible .its not advertising and i dun get anything out of it and definately not a mass order.just offering help out of good will thats all.but most likely you would need big rims with aggressive offset to fit.

Achtung 6th Gear December 8, 2009 Share December 8, 2009 I have gotten many emails from this company in TW. Saw it on a Legacy this morning. IMHO, the finishing is just not good. It aint anodised. The surface of the calipers looked chipped. It is heavy. Claimed that it is used in Alfa for some of the Rally races. Cant verify that. In TW, this is a lesser known brand, just like T-Limit and whatever brands over there. Best to stick to Brembos, AP, Endless. If budget is a constraint, the only TW brand I would touch is VTTR. Would like to find out if anyone has any feedback on this Taiwanese made "XYZ" big brake kit and coilover. Please share. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, u got to compare the rotor size (330mm, 355mm, etc), 4 or 6pot caliper, whether 1 or 2 piece rotor with floating hat or not. All these adds up to the overall cost. Some like bosinni..some like CK...some like AIX. btw, I am using vTTR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, juz curious... how come XYZ sent u so many email? R u in the auto industry? Reading from their website, it seems the XYZ was more focusing on its marketing campaign on rally in europe cars but they do manufacturer lots of coilover/BBK for many models of conti/jap cars. I guess VTTR marketing is more focusing on jap cars and asian market. That's why for a novice like me, I have heard of VTTR more often than XYZ... Has anyone tried XYZ coilover?

Turbonetics 2nd Gear December 10, 2009 Share December 10, 2009 (edited) when i first saw this brand in a magazine,i was very surprised. i was thinking XYZ is the last alphabets means their products is the last people will choose? maybe ABC sounds better.

Ken4555 1st Gear December 11, 2009 Share December 11, 2009 Would like to find out if anyone has any feedback on this Taiwanese made "XYZ" big brake kit and coilover. Please share. Thanks in advance. if you asked me, for brakes, its a part i DO NOT WANT IT TO FAIL... so trying to get a cheaper or worst still 'fake' caliper would be courting death... just imagine if you need an operation to save your life... would you do it in vietnam, Laos, or Singapore? i have always wanted to upgrade my calipers n rotors... but hear soooooo many stories abt brake fluid leak.... pads wear out super fast... haiz.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
