[Es2] custom RS2 caliper brackets: feeler post

[Tom Saltino]

Wow!  $200!!  I haven't bought any in a while, but I've imported several sets WITH all the factory hardware for less than $100USD per pair.  That was about 3 years ago and the exchange rate was a little better, but even still it wouldn't be $200.  I bought them at a dealer in Germany, BTW.

Tom,

All the prices I've been getting are all around $200 US for the pair and 
those are all from US suppliers. Have you found better pricing somewhere? If 
so, I'd love to know!
