Okay maybe not $200, but $289 at strasse in Nov Excellence. I can't remember where but I know I saw them for $245. And I bet they fit when you bolt them up and they look really good. Versus fitting them, maybe doing some glass work, a bunch of sanding/mess and painting them. What is your time worth? Unless your trying to save what maybe 5#s front and rear.

They told me that the front pad has been back ordered from Porsche for about 2 years... and counting. Talk is they may soon be NLA. The current bird board OEM front pad price is $498.50 each and I'm not even sure THEY have 'em. |

Intreresting, how the market works! |
