PES-sing contest ...

[Buchholz, Steven]

... and I see no reason for you to go off on someone simply reporting
experience!

I don't know who the person you say you know of with the broken bracket is,
but it was not the person of whom I wrote of in my earlier post (and yes, I
realize that your reply was not to my post).  The car of which I speak had
all of the work done by a reputable shop here in the SF Bay Area, and if I'm
not mistaken he's now had problems with the bracketry twice.  This means
that there are at least a couple folks out there who have had to deal with
this.  Perhaps that "awesome" customer service is what does it; frankly, I'm
surprised that my boss's boss hasn't split a gut by now ... but he seems to
be OK with having his car leave him on the side of the road twice now.  As I
reported in my earlier post, he too is satisfied with the folks from PES and
will be going to the new system.  I'm not going to complain, I got a set of
A4 front brakes delivered in a set of Tar-ox boxes ... 

Perhaps you can provide a bit of a data point for the rest of us though ...
you say that you will be switching from the "G1" to the "G2" system ... will
you end up having to keep your old system or will you get some sort of
deposit toward the new system from them?
