 So, now you are bragging about how EXPENSIVE these calipers are?! Just a
minute ago, you were confident that you had the better deal! Just an FYI, I
can/will sell you or anyone Big Red's at $350 each! BIG DEAL!!!!! That is
the easy part! Any idiot can order a set of calipers....no matter what
brand! 
 
> Let's look at the price breakdown:

 Who's rotors? What size? Where?  $112.50 per rotor? You can hardly buy a
decent CD stock replacement rotor for that much.....and no I am NOT buying
from the wrong place.....I'm a cheap bastard!

  Who the hell do you have conned into cutting hats for $90/each?

  What are you talking about? He clearly states that he at $2500 he not
making much profit! 

> Your looking at the wrong parts........

  NO, he's looking t better quality parts. I don't think that anyone is
trying to deny that the Dynalite is a good caliper. I would be willing to
bet that the CHEAPER Big Red Brembo is a superior product though. I don't
know about you, but I am going to trust Porsche/Brembo WAY before I trust
Wilwood. There has got to be a reason that Wilwood is NOT used on ANY
production car EVER!  

> Better tell all the street rodders and Mustang/Camaro/Eclipse/Talon etc

  I am sure that they have great brakes and I am sure they are "proven".
How about 10k miles down the road, how about 50k miles down the road, etc
etc etc.....EVERYTHING that I have read about the Dynalites says that a
YEARLY rebuild is recommended! If you ever catch me rebuilding caliper
YEARLY, just shoot me!

  Pardon my French, but what the F*ck are you talking about now? NEVER in
my life have I met a group of people that were more dedicated to improving
their cars that the Audi folks! If the folks on the list wear blinder when
it comes to performance, then hand me the seeing eye dog and send me on my
way!

  A) Frank is NOT selling! I thought this had been discussed. Frank is
happy with what he
B-O-U-G-H-T!!!!!!! and B) Scott is not Selling!! Perhaps if he had a
business and advertised them, he would need insurance. For all you know,
Scott is just TELLING people what to do and not even providing the parts.

  What does the cars worth have to do with anything? Are you suggesting
that I have to have a $30k car before I am worthy of good brakes?! What
does my car have to be worth before I am ALLOWED to have good brakes?
Perhaps we just have a group of people who have cars that they LOVE and
want to improve upon, no matter what the value! ...oh yeah, I forgot, we
are all blind. Silly me!

 No name, no location, no "what you drives".......heck, where do I send my
check for $1650?
