Default Vette Brakes

Ordered new calipers and ss line kit. When they got here I noticed the bill. I did not get the 10% sale price or free shipping. Called them and was told there is nothing they could do about it, as I didn't mention the discount or free shipping.If you order anything from them you should ask what the bill is going to be, I didn't and I guess it's going to cost me about $60.00 . Mike

Vette Brakes is a pretty up-front outfit. I would definitely call again, and ask for an RMA number, or a charge back to your credit card. You could even order their products through Zips and get a discount. I think you probably talked to the wrong guy at the wrong time.

427V8: After spending a lot of time sandblasting and powder coating my brake calipers, they are still trash. I'm probably going to bite the bullet and go with the Dynalites. Is there a time limit on your brackets, or will I probably be able to order them 2-3 months from now?
