[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 14559287, member: 121775"] But that points back to your question of "how" they were able to underbid Brembo and still put out a quality product. On a size scale, SHW is more like a boutique house compared to Brembo; the defacto juggernaut in the brake business. If they're not willingly taking a loss for the sake of future gains, they must be putting them out there at razor thin margins or at cost. When I said "lower grade" formulation, I didn't mean to imply "substandard." I only meant that perhaps the construction materials may not be [i]as high[/i] as Brembo. Brembo can simply use economies of scale to be able to use better quality materials with the cost spread across a much larger base. But anyways, like you, I, too, wonder [i]how[/i] they were able to undercut Brembo. For all we know, they [i]didn't[/i] undercut Brembo but, rather, Ford decided to take a no-compromise approach to braking, considering all the raspberries they have received about the brakes throughout the S197's chassis run. Maybe they just want to shut the rags up about it. [/QUOTE]
