Yeah, Mark, I was real interested, now I have absolutely no interest at all. At that price, you can get the Stoptechs or the Brembos. I haven't said this, but I was one of the first one to call you guys over a month ago, and you told me the same price that Jeff got. Now you want to charge OVER twice as much to me a month later??? What the F ever.

OK, upon farther thought, and now that I am calm, lol, I can type. The whole reason we even looked at these kits was for a lower priced brake kit. If we wanted to spend that kind of money, we would already have Stoptechs or Brembos. Both have been proven superior in past trends and tests. For that money, I am calling Mr. Z, of course, I am not going to spend that type of money.

Now, I do remember that the guy I talked to mentioned you guys might be open to a group buy setup. Well, that has been done many, many times on this site and you guys could do that too. Get a larger group of buyers, and bring the price down for them. But I do promise you that you will not sell a single kit on this site for that price. Heck, I have seen Stoptechs for less than that on the web.

I am not trying to be difficult, just telling the truth. Jeff wouldn't even have bought them for that price, and he is certainly not alone. It is truely up to you guys, but I think a group buy might make both parties happier for these kits.

I wouldn't buy it because I feel like I'm being ripped off. Other brake kits on website is much much cheaper, and the Zs are priced at around same range as AP/Brembo/Stoptech. Those brake company design each part for the Z and actually tested them by putting on the actual car where as PB seems like parts from different manufacturer put together, and we have to assemble them! (They don't even have a 350Z product page or any mention of it) It seems like manufacturer feel they can squeeze more money because the Zs are rare right now. To hell with that.

yup, what we have here is a little thing called PRICE GOUGING, they jack up the price because they know they can get it. and yeah look at the prices of the other kits, dont tell me the cost of the brackets for our cars is twice what the pay for others, coem on now. Its a shame i was all excited about getting these, but now im just a bit disappointed.

Don't forget you have to buy your own torque wrench and put it together yourself.

and mark spelled the name of his own company wrong. What's next, 14" rotors with 12" calipers?
