Message	I worked with the shop thru insurance and they got prices for OEM brake components, all the lines were cut and hard lines were broken to take the calipers, the rotors are what the car wind up sitting on finally. It looks like they tried to tried to originally hold the car up by the front tension rods and the front LCAs have a gash in both (told the shop not sure if that was 100% from the theives) but they had to put them on anyways. Then account labor and brake calipers, pads,OEM lugs plus my wheels. I also know that those prices dont necessarily reflect used parts which is what they want to supply me with for the most part. People say life isn't measured in the ammount of breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away... My Z takes my breath away every time I'm behind the wheel.
