I'm not going through that whole bs process again especially when thats the last bit of parts i need to do this whole thing. Here's the thing that really pisses me off... I went to patriot performance's website and ordered them straight from them and they had'em in stock. When the guy called me to confirm the order and to do the payment i told him about summit not having any in stock and he was shocked because he said they usually keep them stocked up alot and make them frequently...


So moral of the story... screw summit, buy **** directly from the manufacturer.
lol there's always jegs but i remember you posting another time about you having trouble with them...that sucks man i feel for ya...that's one of the most frustrating things in the world when you're willing to spend money but they can't get it to ya like they're supposed to...there's plenty of other retailers out there though...use some sponsors

I'm kind of spoiled to ebay retailers myself...most of them bend over backwards to get things shipped in a timely manner. Have had some pretty good transactions with vendors also though.
I cant stand hitting the submit order button only to find out such and such is on back order...there should be a heads up before hand.

Check a place called unique concepts, but be warned the are gonna rob you blind and quality may not be that great. I bought an rst air dam from them and the fiberglass job wasn't all that great. It went from costing me $200 for prep and paint, to $400 for fiberglass repair, prep and paint.

agreed....you're better off making your own or just painting the calipers red...or really at that price just go & get the baer calipers

RED is evil, I thought I'd catch him and now I find out he did some secret mods. And couldn't even tell his own brother. He told me about the oil pump, and when I go to my parents to put on my cutout I see nice shiny heads with "799" on them and I knew damn well of his mods

lol, I'm sure your truck will crank out some good numbers Now I need to get a better job to play catch-up AGAIN

I paid 25 bucks shipped for the RST spoiler emblem. They want $50 for the windshield decal. I want to replace it since it was taken off by the previous owner. But yeah it's robbery.

Get a good set of pads and some D/S rotors then paint your calipers and call it a day. I wouldn't bother with buying the kit. Some of us end up switching to a stock set up anyway. It's just cheaper than replacing the discs from Baer.
