Igor, i think we're talking about 2 different parts.
I'm on about this part being NLA at the dealers.

The rear arms are getting re-enforced. They are done at this point and painted. I will post completed pics tmrw.

You guys mind if a say something about the welding? You ether have the wire speed up a bit to high or are not welding hot enough, or maybe both. Your getting some fat beads that are just sitting on top of the surface. I cant quite tell but you should also clean at least one 1" to ether side of where you are welding. You will get much cleaner welds.

They are good. Just looks funny in the pics. Tested and done right.. Dont you guys worry :)

Here it is assembled. Already has a bunch of dust on it from MadMax Grinding Fiberglass in the shop.




The front Subframe will be next on the list.

[catuned]

The Front Floating rotors arrived today. Still waiting on the centers from IE.

[deutschman]

How much is they whole brake kit going to cost? They are about $1,200 on IE for the front and about the same for the back.

[catuned]

Did not add it up but it will be cheaper then $1200 but even $1200 is a good price for safety.

[deutschman]

Yeah. If pay that for brakes. I was just wondering if it was cheaper to put your own kit together. I know it was cheaper to put y own Volvo brake kit together then it was to buy IE's kit that had the same parts.

[catuned]

Business do have to make money other wise they end up closing up. It's simple economics 1-1. It is cheaper. But not everyone can do that or is able to.

[deutschman]

Thats very true. But its also competition. If I can get the same kit from you for a bit less, I will. Thats capitalism.
I have certain people I will buy from no matter the price because I like the business and the people who own it like IE, Blunttech,GPS, you guys and others.

[catuned]

Always true. Ppl make or break any company.
