No Juice,
When I post a special/group buy, I look at what my dead cost is on the package, figure my cost on shipping to the lower 48, how much time someone will have to invest on shipping/receiving the package, then I add between 3-5% mark up, which I believe is more then fair. Now I say this with the most respect, but if you are dis-satisfied with my pricing, or feel some how misled, contact your local dealer and ask for this pricing minus shipping costs.
Thank You and Respectfully

I didn't mean any disrespect. I have found your prices to be most certainly fair. It just struck me as odd that the discount between the two kits was as shown, and I was just trying to clarify it for myself, thats all.
So the $540 still comes with the hardware/pin/clips just minus the pads?
Thanks

My appologies. I misunderstood your questions. Hopefully no hard feelings. That is correct, at the $540 price, you get everything (calipers, rotors & hardware kit) except the pads.
Thanks

Brian, Sorry, I've been unplugged for a couple days. Your kit should be shipping this afternoon, at the latest tomorrow morning. I'll email you a tracking number when it does.
Thanks
Kevin

At least an 18". But you also need to account for the fact that the V calipers are much wider than the factory ones, so caliper-to-spoke clearance is an equally important issue.

41mm offset is what seems to be the going rate for clearance. That's what I'm going with so mine clear.
