Okay, I'm gonna vent here, because I'm more than a little miffed right now.

Replacement tophat for 2pc rotor from Wilwood: $120 each

Replacement 14" rotor: $332 each

That's $900 before shipping for two flippin' rotors for the NSX. Steve told me the kit was sold to the previous owner for $1800. That included 2pc rotors, pads, lines, and calipers.

I have one name for you, and it is sad : Sherwin.

Ever since Sherwin left the Brake Zone for medical purposes, the Brake Zone went to hell. Do you recall all the problems I had with my Wilwood kit? The only person who could help was Sherwin - nobody else at the Brake Zone, and not even Evolution Jeff - his hands were just as tied as mine when Sherwin was in the hospital. I doubt you'll ever get service from them now.

I've been buying my BMW stuff from Custom Performance in Stafford, VA. It is actually a one man operation (Jack) and he is awesome I'm about to place a decent sized order with him for some M3 stuff, but he does deal in StopTech, Rotora, and Brembo. I can pass his number onto you if you want to get rid of the Wilwoods.

Yes, I'm putting (mod) money into the M3 again. Ever since I put the order in on the M Coupe I've been realizing how nice my M3 is - it has been the best car I ever owned. I don't want to part with her just yet, and since I'm going to keep her a little longer it is time for upgrades

Look at what you've done to your imports

It is a photoshop. The original car was black.
