That must have been some stand up guy...next thing you are going to add is that this guy threw in some funky resurfaced rear rotors for free, a set of front rotors @ wholesale as well as a free set of front track pads!
And I suppose this guy also did 1/2 the work, pulling off his Big Reds, on his back on the shop floor, and installing your "Little Reds"? In in the process, I'll bet this guy is a now lot more competent when it comes to installing calipers and rotors. He probably learned a few good tips from Darin in this caliper/rotor exchange process.
I'll bet this guy also made a 8 hour + round trip in the rain, and arrived at the shop right on time, as promised, 09:00 Hours.
Actually I know this guy very well and he is extremely pleased with the Little Reds. He has since taken his 993 to Sears Point and the Little Reds are brutally effective, Pagid Yellow on the front, Pagid Black on the rear. He is very thankful that Darin took him up on the offer. Darin is good people!
It's all about being in the right place at the right time and getting exactly what you want. Timing baby, timing!

Nothing gets past you. I forgot to mention I also installed some Techna Fit SS brake lines...SWEET!
Thanks Paul. That's just what I need!

"So this guy contacts me and wants to trade a set of Big Reds straight up for my "little" reds. I have 2 sets of standard 993 calipers in my hands so I ponder this for about 10 whole seconds and say Hell Yes!"

I just want to put this out there. If there's another Martin, or anyone else here who also wants to straight trade their "big reds" to "small reads" (just refurbished), I'm all ready for it!
Love the blue color, look great!

If we're proposing trades, if anyone wants to trade me their 993 coupe for my '01 TJ, hit me up. I won't even ask for any cash to go along w/ the deal.
Seriously..looks great Darin!

Darin,
So that's why you've been so busy lately
When I hear stories like yours, it makes me believe that good things do happen to good people, and there are still a lot of good people left in this world. Anyway (off soapbox) the color looks absolutely perfect and I've got to see it in person. And how about testing out your "new-to-you" brake system at Thunderhill next month?
