The only thing I have a question about,is that I paid the $160 core charge for my calipers knowing I would send my old ones back to get it refunded.But I wont get the whole $160,because I also paid almost $37 to send them to VBP.Shouldnt I get that refunded also? Otherwise I paid shipping both ways for one set of calipers.

I think that's just part of doing business via mail order. If they pay shipping, they'll just have to raise their prices to cover it.

I'm glad I did get the 10% off then to cover some extra shipping costs,because St.Petersburg,FL is a little bit of a drive! Somewhere around 3300 miles.

Redson,
We do ask that the customer be responsible for return freight on cores. I believe this is a standard practice in the industry. As someone said above, all the rebuilders would end up raising prices to cover this expense...

Grrrr...ya jinxed me...decided to repack the wheel bearings while things were off and apart...both sides were toast...

The way I look at it, you owe me $50.99 for the 4 bearings and seals....I'll forward you my Napa receipt once you send me your adress.

On another note, VBP's Oring conversion kit was great.

I'll get to the rear tomorrow.

Yeah.my most recent purchase from VBP was the four 'O'-ring stainless sleeved calipers,& I added Hawk HPS pads.Wow! What a difference! I havent taken any measurements,but it feels like a 50% improvement.All in all,I think VBP has about $3000 of mine now with the all new suspension,etc

Just wondering if the coupon still works, and also what would the shipping be for a street and slalom package to Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, N5C 3R3?

The discount coupon codes, CF-7490 or cf-7490, still work. I am going to try and keep them active for as long as possible. This discount cannot be used with others (of course).

Also, the big suspension and brake packages have already been discounted (based upon buying all the parts separately) and the discount code cannot be applied...
