Holy Sh*t!!!  Somebody's making a FORTUNE on these parts.....  Anyone that
pays these prices is flat out crazy!

Once again Holy Sh*t!  I know for a FACT that you can get a Wildwood 4 pot
conversion that works just as nice as this overpriced "Kit" for around the
price of ONE SIDE!!  I know of 5 people that have the Wildwood mod and I think
they paid $1650 TOTAL.....  FOR EVERYTHING.  Custom Machined Hats and mounts,
Rotors, Calipers, Pads, SS Lines and Aircraft grade mounting hardware......

For 99.99% of the drivers in the world the S4 brakes are fine for the
Street...... And if your Rear ending cars you need to reevaluate your driving
abilities.... I'd say that who ever is "building" the Big Red Conversion is
looking to get rich on a few suckers.....  Did 'ya get the bottle of Vaseline
Frank?  'Cause you need it if you paid $3000 for brakes!  Almost 12% of the
value of the car, pass the crack pipe I need a hit!
