texis30O Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Well if you are out of town or state and want to buy their brake set up, forget it......They are not willing to sell to anyone that will not have the kit installed by them in their shop...... They will not sell and ship out of town. The guy was kind of rude about it when I asked him. I had called them and left a message, didn't get a return call so I tried again today. He was not very receptive... A shame cause the kit looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
231Z Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The kits are fantastic, but they are custom made for the shop directly. Rob has put in lots of time, energy and money into developing his kits. He's looking to be compensated for that and this happens through installation process. He has enough business he can turn it away. The bigger issue is liability. Since every car is different and these are custom kits, his team is equipped to handle any minor tweaks. Selling them directly could lead to lawsuits for improper installation. Furthermore, he doesn't have the time to sit on the phone with everyone who purchases the kits and needs questions answered. It just isn't worth it to him. Rob has built a reputation for quality service here in the Bay Area. He's probably the most knowledgable Z source of anyone I've met (this includes all models).

spitz17 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 http://www.zcarblog.com/2008/09/30/uncategorized/z-car-garage-tests-240z-big-brake-kit.html I don't have the exact page, but here's a start. Just use "Search" on their blog, and I'm sure something will come up. Note that they are no where near cheap, but supposedly are worth it!

thehelix112 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks man, I just figured if people were going to initiate a discussion about something it'd be nice to refer people to what they are talking about, and save others the energy involved in re-finding it all.
