Message	know that those rotors are $500 a pair or not, but that's a bulk of the expense of the kit. There is no comparison between these rotors and any of the stock-sized rotor upgrades - these 2-piece rotors are very well built and also come with a guarantee against warpage - something that I didn't know any business in the industry would do, but they do. The idea with this setup was to provide an intermediary upgrade between the $400 brake upgrade that you spoke of and the $2000+ kits. This kit is not like any of the other 'hybrid' brake packages for the sole reason of the rotors - I dont know of anyone producing a hybrid kit that uses a 2-piece rotor that carrys such a warranty - and if they did, it would likely be more expensive than this kit - and not come with any sort of warranty. One driving market for us with these kits have been our drive-in customers. Most of our local guys know about the brake setup I have on my car and many have asked about me making it into a kit to sell. There is a car here right now getting it installed (which will be the 4th kit now) and there are two guys coming in next week to have it installed as well. There are a lot of people that want it and the $750 is much better than $2000. I built the display unit pictured a few weeks back to put in the lobby area as well as use for fitment of the custom parts used, and even more customers asked about it. Perhaps it is just one of those things you have to personally see to get excited about - its a custom kit that we produced and I guess our supporters are happy to support us - god knows we appreciate them! I guess I'm just saying that I politely disagree with you - there have been too many requests for me to make this kit and they are already selling.. We will just have to see how it goes though. :) Thanks again!
