Well now I know why I didn't here back from you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Who the hell needs 6 sets of used 914 calipers and a few sets of 944-Turbos when you got these toys on your kitchen table (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Congrats Eric.

Oh, still return my PM - Umm, sometime (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif)

M8 fasteners vs. M7 will prevent any and all flex.


All the brake companies will tell you the flex is in the caliper design, not the fasteners. Have you tried these out yet? Track usage? I'm not trying to pee on your parade - I think it's awesome you're making these, I just want to make sure they work as well as they look.

Oh, so this is what Fiid was talking about yesterday... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Even if all were perfect with the former fronts that have been moved to the rear, I'd want these for my -6 so I could have an e-brake again!

(slow clap) Well played, Mr. Shea. Well. Played.

Sure I do...

Pricing: There were 2 minor CAD changes and 1 minor CAD addition. We're waiting on a total from the machinest to assess final cost. I'm a 914 guy too so, "I understand". We're looking at keeping these under the $900 price point per pair. Bottom line though... we simply do not know accurately enough to project pricing just yet.
