Buyers remorse! Stoptech big brake kit

I purchased the Stoptech big brake kit and soon ran out of money. (and my wife found the reciept) I can't keep them. If anybody wants them I will sell them for $1600. That is 300 less then retail and the drilled are $100 more than the slotted. They are red calipers with drilled rotors. I heard there is over a three month waiting list for them.
360-770-0325 I am north of Seattle.
-Clint
PS they are on ebay
They are sold now.

Wrong approach!

Sheesh.... brakes are all about safety. You've really got to work on the pre purchase sales pitch and preparation planning.

I am not a drinker.My wife is. I get paid every 2 weeks and I have an automatic transfer of $100 out of each paycheck to a passbook savings acct. (in my name only), for the sole purpose of supporting my MINI habbit. Every time my wife asks me what the latest mod costs, I tell her "3 bottles of Gin and 2 bottles of wine" End of conversation.

Just handle the finances and don't give her access to anything but a check card, checkbook and credit card and tell her to be happy!

works for me
