Hi there,
There are some issues currently with the availability. I have about 100 of each rotor. I have about 100 sets of each pads. I have approx 25-35 sets of each caliper except one which I only have 2 of. As soon as I get more of those I will be ramping up. I am still working from a list!

Thanks,
Gene

Hi Gene,
If that's the case, why am I still waiting on brake pads? I received the rotors over a week ago, then the calipers a few days later, and still no pads. Can you get back to me on that.

thanks,
john miranda

Thanks Jeff.... I'm almost afraid to talk to you. Maybe someday we can reconcile our apparent difference. It still bothers me.

At any rate, yes, we are selling the packages for 1665 plus shipping. I have been working from the original list. I must say that the responses haven't been as fast as I'd like, but the parts aren't rolling in as fast as I'd like either, so we're doing ok.

I hope to have plenty more for sale soon.
Thanks. Gene.

There's a real man, asking for a truce.

I wish a few people would call a few for me - I've had a rough entrance to this forum.

The C6 Z06 upgrade is one of the least expensive kits out there. And what's better. Is that you can get ALL FOUR wheels done for the price of just the fronts on most kits. And for about half the price of Stoptech fronts.

Same here, although that list would have to include 18" wheels and rubber all the way around first to make the brakes fit. Sad part is the wheels and tires are more expensive than the brake upgrade. lol.

Jeff,

Nice to see you online. How about a return email or phone call pal? It would be nice to hear back from you one of these days.

Jeff,
Amen. Thanks very much. I feel much better about the whole thing! Once you're ready for some brakes, let me know and I'll take care of you. It may be a little while though! If you need anything else, let me know.
