Is anyone running these? I found no results for "ARMA" in this section. I know they are pretty big in the supercharger scene, but I can't find many reviews on their brakes. They look nice, but I want to make sure they are reliable.

why would you be willing to settle for a product that hasn't ever made into in this country yet?

Why do you think I started this thread? I am asking about them before making a decision. There are definitely people here that have bought them, so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "made into this country yet".

i have yet to hear of one member who has bought an arma product.

i guess my point is- there are proven quality parts out there.

I'm definitely aware of the other options, but competition is always a great thing. That being said, I agree that they aren't popular, but big brake kits in general aren't that popular, either.

aren't popular among people who don't have a true use for them*

there's 1 guy in Germany that I know using those BBK and RB turbos. There was a thread made about his incident with the brakes and how they resolved it...check the old threads for more info.

my friend had a quote from them while back ago, sure they are very inexpensive with even 8pistions kit. i remembered the price list for E9x are less than $2800 for both front and rear. but not too many reviews on them in the nation nor not too many people having this kit yet.

I remember something about a brake kit, but I didn't think it was ARMA. Nothing came up in this section.

The fact that it's that cheap is why I wanted to ask first. As much as I didn't want to spend nearly $6k on Brembo or Stoptech, I know better than to just jump on something that's half the price.

I wish I remember what thread that was again, something about the rotor cracking or falling apart.

I think you are referring to enrita's thread about Alcon BBK. Yeah, they had cracking issues. Perhaps you are confusing ARMA with Alcon...

Yea, it was Alcon. I wasn't mixing up the name, I just couldn't remember who it was - I thought it was Rotora.

Any updates? Got something back from them price wise and they are considerably less than the "big" brake kits. I'm looking for a cosmetic upgrade (no fake covers), but don't like how the logo looks a little ricey.

If this is the same ARMA that sells supercharger kits for the 328 etc then I would stear clear. Check out the ARMA supercharger thread in the "NA (non turbo)..." performance sub forum.

The main reason I started this thread...

The fact that no one has replied leads me to consider other options.

Interesting, good info for anyone wanting more history. I have no further updates to this, and I don't anticipate following up.
