Do you need Google to find your front door in the morning?
Or do you mapquest?

ill murder their order time 100% of the time.
and theres no one armed, baggy pants douche cannon behind the counter at an Overdrive Automotive mis-quoting prices all day long.
remember… this is said with my usual goofy grin on my face. Not to be taken as me being a prick about it.
GT
haha self-pwn3d
haha just fell out of my seat laughing!
Well that sucks, I guess CT’s price is shit since they’re HPS (F564 vs N564).
Calm down Greg. Be happy you aren’t the douche canoe at Performance Improvements. :o
:noes:
Hahaha this is all great
partsource can order them in.
Whilst ripping you off and taking 3 weeks to get them in.
itll be the same damn price as crappy tire.
GT
Speak my brother
i cant even be bothered any more beensoon.
trying to sell things on this board drives me insane.
crappy tire is CRAP
partsource IS crappy tire, so its crap too
i wont even get into the rest of the shops, but its still not worth it to go there half the time.
the people who buy from me currently are wonderful customers and i value them greatly. That being said they will most likely get a fantastic price and QUICK service, but when i get people coming to me for the first time expecting to get 5% over my cost and for me to have it on the shelf, its just an insult to me and my business.
GT
Danno, i thought the CT and PS stores didnt get good pricing becuase they had accounts by store and not as a chain, or maybe they just require too much of a margin on the products because i have never seen them be able to offer a competitive price to specialty shops that are much smaller.
Andrew, yeah they stop you well, i have no doubt about that, but they create a TON of brake dust… i mean you have to wash your wheels like 3 times a week if you care at all about them, which i barely do.
Adam H warned me about that.
I suspect that there are pads out there that will stop just as well and not create all that crazy dust.
its not a huge problem obviously but i hate seeing Mercedes or BMW’s with a clean car, clean rear wheels and dirty as fuck brake-dustaroo’d front wheels because the bitches who drive them are soooo nuts on them brakes that their wheels permenantly and prematurely discolour … if you dont wash your car twice a week it will look like that with HP+
if anyone is serious about lapping with z32 calipers
just get whatever street pads and change pads at the track
i can change front pads (both sides) in 12min. Dont need to take the caliper off or anything. And you will be bleeding your brakes at the same time anyways so no harm done.
Why compromise with a street/track pad? It just doesnt make sense.
To me a set of HPS for the street and some Blues to pop in at the track is the perfect idea. HP+'s fade just as bad as blues without brake ducting so you’re really only gaining a few more laps before fade.
To change brake pads quickly:
-Remove hardware from calipers
-Tilt one side brake pad up 90 degrees exposing one of the two pistons.
-Use screwdriver and push the piston in all the way to compress it (get leverage off of rotor dont worry you dont damage it)
-Slip new pad in at 90 degree angle beside the old pad. The new pad will hold the piston compressed.
-Now pull the old pad out and compress that piston and rotate the new pad down to seat properly in the caliper
-Repeat for other pad and next caliper
with this method it is not even required to bleed brakes not to mention taking the caliper off. Once the wheel is off the pads can be changed in literally 60seconds it takes about 15seconds per pad and aabout 15 seconds to remove/load the hardware
i have these in stock just pm me and i’ll pop them in the mail for u…
Sorry, didn’t catch your price… ?
