Default Cragar Brakes?

Anyone heard of these? http://www.cragar.com/They make brakes and wheels.
I read here though http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?p=5585969that they're not reliable at all. Take forever to respond. I found some on eBay too. So are these good or a scam?

The cragar name has probably been around for 50 years or more; they were one of the original vendors of "mag" wheels, and were the shizzle in the '60's and '70's. Now....I think it is a brand that is licensed all over the place for all sorts of aftermarket stuff. I have not heard of them as being particularly "good" or "great" at anything.

There are other, more reputable, brakesources around...

They are made by Powerstop. I have considered buying their brake kit off of ebay several times. What does everyone think of these???

I wonder how much it would cost to get them in red. Cause if it's to much I would rather just get the Baer kit for a few hundred more.

That's why I asked as well, I was thinking on getting them. Pretty good deal too, $1500 for both front and rear brakes. After reading that thread that I posted above though, I question their integrity.

Sorry man, couldn't resist. It's actual funny cause Firefox says "firefox" is spelt wrong unless you capitalize it.

But back to the subject...

I still wish they had red...
