Glad I just removed R1 rotors from my cart. I am thinking of EBC USR rotors with yellow stuff. Heard from people complaining about the UK quality and someone saying no one in UK uses EBC ... Really want to try Akebono stuff but can't find any of them that fit a Giulia in US
The coating is e-coating, electrically bonded coating. This is what the top industry manufacture use, as it is non metallic. Zinc is old school, it is metallic and will rust eventually.
It's from C**na but California this time lol. Some emerging brake companies in China are doing quite well in recent years but I don't think they sell in US. Most made in China brakes you can get now are still from the low-end factories
Porterfield Pads were not the issue, R1 rotor was. A great pad with a inferior rotor is going to give you what you experienced. Let's see how these are in a year or so. ;)
Just get endless or stoptech pads and a more performance oriented brembo rotor.. your in Europe now...😉👌 The reason you get rust on your hubs is probably because you use an agressive wheel cleaner.. I spray new 1 piece rotors with hammerite just to protect them better for cleaning products that keeps them nice and clean. Or if there is an option to get a two piece rotor for this car thats the best choice. Thanks for the content, I am a big fan of te Giulia eventho I run a 3 series myself.
Yellow stuff definitely bite harder but I will warn you now they create a absorbent amount of dust like literally every day you will be cleaning your wheels but they definitely are the best brake pads I've ever used
2023 is great, warranty, updated, less issues. But you’ve got to by a extra thingy if you want to tune it called a SGW bypass Other than that do it. As long as you can get the wheels I have

Check out my new 2-piece lightweight rotors, just posted an install of them, review coming soon. Selling them on the website now!
Thanks for sharing the review. Good timing cause I need to go my brakes. I may consider the brakenetics.
Please do!

R1 concepts are made in Ch**na and not performance at all. Thank you for sharing your info, much appreciated.
They are made in California
@@getajob2667 a quick Google search will tell you otherwise

@getajob2667 the company is based in Cali but the are not manufactured there.

Thank you for the suggestions! Yeh 2 piece rotor will be next
Dude where did you get your body kit and side skirts from? Just got one of these so now on the hunt for kits to liven it up
Great video! Did you look into any of the higher end brake kits? Or where there any others you where interested in? Thanks!
Yeh looked at the racing brake kit and ceika kit but expensive and wouldn’t be utilized
Maybe I’ll buy ceika in a few years instead of renewing these
Nice video again man! i went witch EBC redstuff brake pads. Going for the Yellowstuffs next time around. Have you heard about them?
Yeh I heard people rave about the ebc pads they are quality
Yellow stuff definitely bite harder but I will warn you now they create a absorbent amount of dust like literally every day you will be cleaning your wheels but they definitely are the best brake pads I've ever used
Nice video bro !! I want to assemble this kit for my MINI COOPER JCW, do you recommend them? daily street and track day use sometimes. Thanks !
Never had them on the track but for street use they’re phenomenal. Still look brand new
@@club.alfagt Thanks for your reply, I’m order the kit and I will tell you the results later. Regards!
@atomikdf ok my friend, enjoy!!
Great review💪🔥
How big would you estimate the difference compared to OEM brakes?
Large difference. These are also lighter 🔥🔥🔥
Does AP Racing or PFC offer a brake kit? And what about Pagid or Endless brake pads?
At this time no. Best option is to upgrade to QV brakes and then have access to all their options
Whats your tint setup? Looks clean
No tint in the front 10% rear
_fast4lfa hey you have me really considering getting a guilia. Whats your thoughts on getting a 2023 vs a few years old?
2023 is great, warranty, updated, less issues. But you’ve got to by a extra thingy if you want to tune it called a SGW bypass
Other than that do it. As long as you can get the wheels I have
@_fast4lfa when you say "get the wheels you have" you just mean the car or are you specifically refering to the wheels?
No specifically the 5 hole wheels I have
@_fast4lfa ok cool. I do really like those wheels so im going to try and find one with them.
You work for Festo (the robotics company)?
No man military
Are those 19s? If so, what size tires do you have on them?
245/35-19s
What brand do you recommend for all season tires?
@@Skatersesh10 what is your budget?
Good point, I’m currently running continentals. I don’t track my car.
Mines an AWD I’m on 18s already bought your exact rims.
Been thinking about getting the Tarox rotors and pads but it’s about 1400$ for the entire package☠️
Not worth it. Same weight too
