      Let me just say, wow, I can see why I really need this now. I went for a drive earlier, quite "spirited". Was braking somewhat hard the whole time. Then I see my turn is coming up, so I start applying the brakes, quite hard. From 100-40 I had no problem. 40-10 was the problem. Tons and tons of brake fade, Wasnt able to stop till maybe 100ft after the turn. did a walk around the car, could smell the left front brake. No bueno. Waited 20 mins then drove home, doing the speed limit the whole time

      I didn't mean to sound attacking.. sorry about that.

      I have the spindle being sent to the builder, a little back and forth once he gets it, and then bring it back for a test fit.

      That will be about 2 weeks estimated. If/when it fits and goes together, then your orders will be filled and sent directly from him. If it needs any tweaks, it will add some time. But the parts will be made.

      I will start working on the front brakes in 24 days (summer brake, get the pun..)

      I dont think that response was out of line, I would be pissed too if I worked on something like this only to have no responses

      So with this being a go.. I can the $110 on over to the paypal you listed a few pages back. If the other people don't come through would I then just send the balance? I finally got back on a computer so I can have my cash sent anytime.

      pricing is $110 per set if we get 5 sets. I will accept paypal at aveonetwork@verizon.net I am already having the prototyp started so there WILL BE MADE REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SETS BOUGHT, but the $110 price is only good if 5 sets are bought.
      I sent the spindle to him today. it took forever for it to arrive to me (bought it on ebay). So once he gets it, he will go over the measurements with me, make me one set, and send them my way. I will then test fit them to my car, and if it fits, then he will immediately start making everyone else's.
