10k is a complete rip off...I rather go with Endless, AP Racing, Stoptech, or Brembo four corners kits are much cheaper..

was this item just added to carson site or it's been a while? i know when they first add items, a lot of times they put high price tag until everything is firm.

i highly doubt these brakes are 10k

does anyone know if BRANEW is a good jdm brand name, like JP and Wald (just to name a few)?

on a side note, it's definitely an unusual name; i prefer to call it NEWBRA!

they are a new company, i think mainly came out last year and they got quite some exposure at sema with their lexus lineup and also the gtr. personally i am not a fan of their body kits, too much for lexus cars imho. but that's subjective

brakes wise, to be honest, there are only so many brake companies out there and you can count them easily. other companies most of the time are just rebadging the brakes with their name and sell them at another premium.

i can't see it clearly but looking at the pics they look pretty similar to project u brakes. again, just a guess. i would be surprised if they actually have their own design (which takes tons of R&D)

JP and wald, they also just rebadge other brand brakes, they don't have their own design
