Karl - thanks for the clarification. I just didnt know if it was listed there and to be honest I dont know if that many people know about the 15%. One other thing to consider with Sunset is that they wont ship outside the US. I know Mike B had stuff sent to my house and I sent it to him. Prices look good though.

Thanks for putting all the info up there.

BTW - anyone notice how the R and L caliper are different in price? Weird!

I'm with Karl, the big blacks are preferrable for my car.

2) Use custom rotors, and no one seemed to be offering a deal for the 86 944 Turbos, thats why I couldn't get it done for the group buy.....
Seems us '86 guys have the 'black sheep' of the family.

SFR has Big Reds for the 1986 cars, and they're listed cheaper than the 87-89 ones - I'm still doing my research, as I've got an '86.

Absolutely no problem.

BTW - to show his thanks, Mike hooked me up with some cool stuff including Ballast Resistors for my injectors.

ANYTIME Mike.

Actually, there are three ways to add the Big Red rotors to the 86's.The last option is to turn the hubs down so that the Big Red or 3.6 rotor fits.We can offer this service for $100 to help with the group buy deal.

Sorry about that Ian.We are getting ready to move to our bigger shop so it has been crazy.Its ok though since you have Chris White organizing the deal and he will definitely take care of everyone and he is a great guy to deal with.If we can help with the machiig of the hubs for the 86' cars let me know.



BTW, we will be raising the price of our 86' Big Red brake kit to $1399.Our website is inaccurate.

Tim - Lindsey Racing has a "Big Red" kit for 86 turbos for $1399. Maybe you can source thier rotors???



http://www.lindseyracing.com/brakes.htm

If we can put together a group buy so that this kit is a few hunred$$ cheaper I'd be in 100%.

Tim,

Thanks for the info, maybe this will help those guys with the 86's out.... considering that they make up the greatest number of 951's it would be a shame not to offer this to those guys some how.....
