Here's the deal, though:
These aren't strut tower braces, downpipes, engine mounts, gauges, test pipes, headers, or anything else that will cause a high-speed impact with a wall or other traffic. The product in question is not just a braking system component, it is the caliper and rotor. It is THE braking system (well, the system upon which the hydraulic braking system acts to slow the car). A failure of either a caliper or rotor is catastrophic. Should the rotor disintegrate, you will have rotor pieces being spun into the wheel, brake line, fender, track surface, etc. If the hat fails, you have a rotor which is doing nothing but slamming into whatever it can. If the caliper fails, you have zero braking force on that wheel and possibly lose all brake fluid in just a couple pedal strokes. All of this can mean the difference between slowing for T4 and ending up in the Armco, in the tires, or going through the chain-link sideways to catch a wheel in the dirt and cartwheel onto another track surface. Hooray.
What quality are the bolts? What purity is the alloy used for the calipers? What quality is the rubber for the pistons? What purity is the alloy used for the pistons? What's the bursting strength of the rubber in the hoses?
Unless Megan tells us these details, I don't understand why anyone wants a Megan kit in the first place. Everyone knows their suspension pieces use inferior rod ends (if they use rod ends at all) and their brackets are on the thin side. Look at the flanges on their headers versus the high-end pieces.
If I took a picture of a Megan tension rod next to an SPL or Peak tension rod, it'd be no contest which one even a non-enthusiast would pick.
