Thanks for the good offer!

So, the kit for our cars is running $395 before the 10% discount? As far as I could read it is just a "bolt on" upgrade...is there anything else that needs to be done/purchased aside from the upgrade kit in order to make it work?

Sounds like a good deal. I'm gonna give it some serious consideration.

Default Good news vs Bad news...

Hmmm - got some good news, and I've got some bad news :confused:

The online store has not yet receieved a much needed products page update to reflect our many, many NEW! part numbers and fitments. Should be updated by this weekend (we hope) along with a revised FAQ section.

Good News: everything you need is in the kit except for ps fluid and labors.
Good News: yes - you can run the master cylinder currently on your vehicle

Bad News: The Level I systems have been discontinued due to their lack of an accumulator, which would cause your brakes to go "manual" the minute an engine stall occurs. The models equipped with accumulators store up reserve assist to handle these situations properly. The Level I was also based on an earlier design which just couldn't hold a candle to the newer design.

So, Level II -retailing for $495 is now the base model, utilizing a high quality mid '90's design remanufactured hydraulic assist unit.
The Level III is $595, boasting a Brand New 2003 assist unit, with some design refinements. Don't forget to subtract 10% if you are a verifiable CF member!

Overall, the system is indeed a direct bolt in requiring no other mods be performed simultaneously. Most customers report 2-4 hours of installation time.

More Good News: All systems now come standard with a one year unlimited mileage warranty against defects in materials and workmanship and, get this: A REAL satisfaction guaranteeed or your money back policy! :cheers:

Is it possible to use a newer style light weight master cylinder on our C3's? What complications might this cause? BTW, I'm planning to place my order soon, so thanks for the discount.

Default Late model master cylinder

Aluminum body - plastic reservoir master cylinder for C3. :confused:

We did some research early on into that concept, and found that most later model aluminum / plastic master cylinders worked fine except for hood clearance issues. The trick here is to figure out where in the world you could find a low and wide, high capacity, plastic reservoir to put on the aluminum body? As a project, it eventually went the wayside and... :sleep:
