the jdm brakes are alright, but the amount u pay for them these days you can do a FC upgrade for a few more dollars...
is that your 'blog'?
if so, you have waaaay to much time on your hands!
oh and yer, even if the D2 stuff was good, its far too expensive. If you're doing circuit work even the JDM sprinter brakes with some nice pads will be ok. I had ADM brakes on my old sprinter and i found that the actual stoping power was fine, pulling up after brake marker 2 was ok, just fade after only a few laps, so maybe just some slotted and vented rotors would do the trick? like $300 from DBA. I can only speak for myself and skill level though, if your the next fernando alonso maybe look at the FC brakes.

what an odd fellow thinking he can talk sense into americans
to run the EG6 rotors for the FC setup you need to...
get them redrilled to suit the pcd on THE BACK of the sprinter hubs....
you will also need to smack the ball joint end of your control arm in slightly to clear the rotors...this can also be solved by using NCRCA's....
you can pick up the rotors from anywhere, and the odds will be that the same place you get the rotors from will be able to re-drill them to suit...you will just need to bring in one of your hubs for them to get the pcd from...
and here is a link on how to put the setup together...
*note, The setup in the above link uses different rotors and adapter to the one I knocked up for the AJPS kit, however it all bolts together the same
cheers
And what makes u doubt that I have seen the g4 /d2 gear fail? I have no reason to lie about it..At my old job we had a customer every week or 2 complaining that their G4/D2 coilovers were failing, from inserts to spherical bearings and even sheer'd foot mount!! If acompany can't make a quality product personally I wouldn't trust any thing else they manufacture. All comes straight out of Taiwan
yeah its not a myth, cheap stuff breaks.
Pun intended James?
