That's what I thought! I didn't think those MB Battles came in 10.5" width!

Oh and I should clarify what I said about getting 4 wheels for $500 shipped ... that is for the MB Drifters not the Battles - the Battles are more like $740 shipped (no valve stems or lug-nuts).

Man I feel all left out. I want some rs3's but I'm broke and the only spare wheels I have are my oem 17's. I'd put them on my battles but I daily drive on those and a 140 treadwear tire isn't gonna last long doing that lol.

Just bought a set of 06 front calipers.

Gavin is that offer for a set of pads stil open?

I would like to get a baseline on the brakes before deciding what kind of pads I want.

Thanks Gavin,

I am looking for a front set that fits the 2 piston calipers. Are ours the stock type ceramic?

Also are you going to the NTAXS on the 28th?

The duralast would be just fine. With the hail damage I have been busy getting ins and parts together so I havent even got around to putting the new brakes on.

If your going to be up at the pca event on the 12 can you leave the pads with Chris(fitha) and I can get them from him.

I am out of town for the 12th and then the car goes in for the hail damage. So I am out of racing for a few weeks.

Let me know how much you want for them and I'll get it to you.

thnaks
