Hey guys,
there has been more than a little controversy and some conjecture, regarding the company history of Nashin and its origin.
Whilst I am not permitted to reveal specific details regarding the origin of the Nashin brand, I can say that Nashin brakes are just that, a brand name.
The company behind Nashin brake components is S-Meng Industrial Co.,Ltd and was registered as a company in Taiwan in 1994, their first brake rotor was released to the public shortly thereafter. They were also the first Taiwanese company to produce a "floating" rotor.
The factory itself is very much a professional operation, all the components are assembled by hand and undergo rigorous QC checks prior to shipment.
Whilst it's true that their "Monobloc" caliper has only been available for a few years (2009 in fact), their 2-piece "Billet Forged" calipers and 2-piece "Floating" rotors have been available for many many years, as their R&D had focused primarily on race car application.
In recent years Nashin has worked very hard to develop an extensive range of components that allows for a direct fit, OE upgrade on a wide range of motor vehicles, as illustrated in their
attached 2012 application guide.
I also have a lot more information direct from Nashin, regarding their range of "Street", "Sport" and "Competition" brake pads.
Specifically replacement cost, service life, operating temperature threshold and dust level, I will post all of that up shortly.
Cheers,
JD.
