*&!$ Brembo.. I need to vent..

[whyask]

So i needed to get new pads last week, and the since tuesday Ive been getting the run around, "we forgot to send them out, we missed the shipping truck, we forgot they needed to go out, there on the way, sorry wrong ones.." I CANT TAKE IT, overnight shipping does not mean in a F*********G WEEK ! Worst customer service in the history of bad service...There I feel better..not really still dont have my car running.

Next time im buying breaks im buying ones that you can find pads for ANYWERE not just the website..you gotta pay to play i guess

Did you buy that kit after you got the car?

Damn kit is some serious cash

 

[whyask]

F**K no I hate that kit...I have a cobra front and rear primed and wainting paint, Im just finishing all the go fast mods, hence the new engine and all the other upgrades..then the cosemetics....I just wanted the carbon fiber cobra hood, brembo brakes and low miles...

 

[whyask]

or are you talking about the brakes..?? If so then no they came with the car, and im starting to realize how exspensive they are, i just replace the front 2 rotors with the 14" model the have

looks like stock rears with expensive rotors and the cobraR kit with expensive rotors in front...

the volks look nice tho.

 

[whyask]

no I WISH THEY WERE, I had to special order the pads, there 2 inches wide and 2 inches tall...they look freaking weird, never seen pads like that before. and on top of it the rotors i needed they didnt have, so i had to go a step higher and get the 14' setup in the front instead of the 13' the rear have the brembo rotors but I put the stock clapier back on, they rears needed a rebuild..IM not that rich, the front are the real deal... The pic posted is before anything was done to the car.

No, the set he has is the 6 piston caliper with a 14" rotor, while the Cobra R kit is only 4 piston and a 13" rotor. From the looks of it (although it's hard to tell from the pic), his rotor is 2 piece (unless the hat was painted black), which also increases the price. The 1 piece rotor is way cheaper...FYI. Big BIG difference. and not only in price.

That kit on Tirerack is over 3k
