Hi Mike,
Thanks for the kind words on the car. Most of the car is orignal paint. I had the hood and rear bumper painted 2 years ago.
Yes, the Spohn stuff looks pretty good. I will let ya know how it goes!

Hmm...thanks Borla.
I wonder why the pics don't show up
I use imagestation to host my pics for ebay pics and there are no issues with that.
Could it be that this board does not allow specific pictures from a certain location/server?

Great looking brakes. They will look great on your car, not to mention performance.

Hey guys,
I got the brakes from www.autogoodies.com

The brakes were about $2600 plus or minus some change. BTW, this was the best price that I could find for all my options (zinc washed/slotted + 2 piece rotors.

Check out the site and contact Colin. He will give you a great price and great service! Really friendly guy to deal with and very professional.

Tommy

love the 12" rear 2 piece rotors. disassemble it and copy that backing plate for the rear so that anyone can adapt the baer larger rotors with the stock setup and you'll be good or at least do it for me and i'll hook you up.

I have to say that Colin is a great guy. I bought some koni yellows from him for $585, including tax, and then he personally delivered them to me so I would not have to pay any shipping. He will definitely hook you up.

Hi Kandied,
How do you want me to 'copy' the backplate?
Also, what are the legal implications of this action.
I don't want to be sued by Baer...lol...haha.

lol....yeah i can understand you there. basically the parts that hold the caliper and rotor or more importantly one would need to see what's different between the two set.

before you put it on can you get me a detailed picture of the rear setup. basically a nice closeup? then i could tell you exactly what would need to be duplicated.

i wouldn't see anything coming about of it however if you began to mass produce the item to a point of real seriousness then something may come about. however a few here and there would be no big deal. afterall you purchased the kit.

MrZ06,
I'm glad that you are so happy about the quality of your parts. I hope that they perform even better than they look

As one of my friends AND a customer, it's a pleasure to do business with you and I hope that we can do business again soon. If you need anything else, let me know

Mavrick, I'm glad you're happy with your Konis.. they're some of the best struts out there

Thanks again for the great words, guys.. I'm glad that you felt I gave you a good deal, I tried..

take care,
Colin
