Default Alcon Brakes (Manaray)

Manaray....
I see you posted a page with Alcon Brakes...
How do these brakes match with AP racing?
Cost and performance?
How did the Brembo presentation go?
Thanks
MIKE

Spartan, unfortunately, I haven't found out any info about the Alcon setup. I just saw it in one of my magazines and thought other might be interested in seeing it.

I do know that Brabus uses Alcon for their brakes. A lot of Euro tuners use them and a few Japanese ones. I haven't really looked for info on Alcon so I can't really help you out...sorry bud!

Alcon brakes are made by Trust, or better known to us GReddy.

Uh...not really...Alcon is company in the UK...

Trust/GReddy might sell Alcon packages, but Alcon is NOT Trust/Greddy. Just like AP Racing is NOT Stillen...Stillen just uses some of AP components to make their brake package (Stillen only manufactures the hats for the rotors in their AP Brake Package.)

And either Brembo now owns AP or the other way around.

Brembo bought AP Racing but they run their business just as they did before...

The reason why Trust/GReddy has Alcon on their site is because they use their components...just like Stillen has AP Racing and Brembo on their site...
