Angry ANGRY: Problem with Ric Shaw online.

I am not happy with Ric Shaw Online's description

Read this
4 SPOT BRAKE KIT FOR RX8 - AP DISC

4 spot AP Racing caliper with AP disc and ceramic SBS pads to fit (front)

$3000

I thought I saw a bargin until I saw the word front

2 questions. Firstly, why do they trying to hide the fact that $3000 for 2 calipers and discs and secondly who with a F mind would just offer to sell the front not the rear to his customers.

Foolish

Lucky I have local contact for AP caliper and do not have to go though them.

It's a free market economy. They can choose a price to sell and you can choose a price to pay. If price to pay < price to sell, they don't get your business.

Simple.

At least he is up-front with the cost. And it is there in black and white.

I've never upgraded brakes like that, but I don't think the price is extremely different to what people generally pay for that sort of thing.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Taka,

Don't know what you are on about. This is some prices I just found on CAPA's site: http://www.capa.com.au/prices_ls1.htm#ls1_brakes as a comparison:

AP Racing Brake Kits
AP 6 Piston Brake Kit Front 385 x 32mm 2 piece* $ 6,986,00
AP 6 Piston Brake Kit Front 355 x 32mm 2 piece* $ 5,493.00
AP 6 Piston Brake Kit Front 330 x 32mm 2 piece* $ 4,995.00
AP 4 Spot Brake Kit Front 330 x 28mm 1 piece* $ 2,995.00
AP 4 Spot Brake Kit Front 330 x 28mm 2 piece* $ 3,595.00
AP 4 Piston Brake Kit Rear 320mm 1 piece* $ 3,295.00
AP 4 Piston Brake Kit Rear 320mm 2 piece* $ 4,420.00
* Complete Kit, Includes Discs, Calipers, Pads, Hoses, Brackets and Bolts

So there you go, a same size, 4 pot front kit for a Commy is $3K.

I think you should cool off a little. I think the subject of your post is a little harsh. BTW - I am not on Rics payroll.

Cheers,
Hymee.
