Congrats. I love mine. After the install you MAY find the engagement a little low for your taste. Wait until it's broken in to decide.

If it's still too low you can add the Cartek adjustable master...That's what I did. Or, have them add it while they are in there. Makes bleeding much easier.

My $.02

Hi there,
You paid about 26.00 more than you would have from us and we stock them. We actually stock more of these than anyone else in the country!

Thanks,
Gene
