[200q20v] Re: [s-cars] Big Reds (actually Blacks)

[Charles Baer]

BIRA System 6 cost me just under $2K a few months ago, $700 of that
was for BIRA parts ( hats & brackets ).  Nobody else is close to
the same price, although several of the big brake vendors have been
making big price cuts recently.

BTW: the 993tt rotors aren't really drilled, the holes are cast.
