 Local place in Omaha was only going to charge me $50 as long as I disassembled my calipers first... |

I like cheap, but that seems tooo cheap. But the price I referred to is done by a top quality place, including: Multiple cleaning stages, including ultrasonic Quality certifications (ISO, QS) Six Sigma quality standards 100% quality and leak testing High quality powder coat, specifically for high temp applications. And since it wasn't a local place, shipping charges

I saw their work first hand on many things - they do a FANTASTIC job. You guys really need to get it out of your head that everything has to be expensive for a fantastic job. Pity I cant post a name, but here's a couple examples of their work. Before:  After:  Before:  After:  Sorry dude, you will never be able to convince me that I should be paying $570 for something I could send these guys for a fraction of the price, and just as much quality.

"just as much quality" is pretty debatable, since I don't know (and I imagine you may not know as of right now) what kind of certifications your place has, what their cleaning procedures are, what the quality is of the powder coat, and so on. Also, you didn't mention the warranty of the work. This place was lifetime (original owner) guarantee. That all being said, these are calipers for a nissan, get the best deal you can. When I was willing to spend top dollar for top quality, it was for a garage queen vette that doubled the price of the Z - a little more reason to assure the quality. And obviously, if I'm willing to spend 60k on a car, two hundred extra for assured quality was not a big deal.

Personally Im a bargain hunter, and I like good quality at a great price. You wont see me spending more than I have to, really. Anyway, as far as I know these guys had a lifetime warranty, but I never got anything done through them PERSONALLY so I don't know for sure. |
