My understanding is they did not like the direction of the company, but liked the product and helped start the company. So left the company and started it new. Hence the lower costs being part of the model and direction.

Pretty good write-up on their website that seems to explain it more: http://www.g-locbrakes.com/about-us/

They also wanted to be able to make more products and are in the process of doing exactly that now.

Okay so update with the HPS I got for my v conversion. They only seem to squeek after I drive for more than 20 minutes or do one or two hard stops. Then it gets really bad. Sometimes its just random. Its very annoying as I daily it.

I just ordered a set of these pads and new rotors and I will have them on by next week. I'll let you know if mine does the same, I hope not.
