Well, I ask you, where was your knowledge or this thread 2 months ago when I went to buy the brakes?
When I ordered them I didn't want to wait for company A and B and C. Having multiple orders out. Everything came at one time in one neat box in two days. If you have time and everything ships fast it's a good plan, i'm sure.
My wife hated the idea of having red calipers anyway so the gray cobras worked out very well.

For things that aren't necessary to install right away, i don't mind waiting for co. A, B, & C. But i understand what your saying. It's much easier the way you did it i guess.
And spray paint is always an option for changing caliper color
Black calipers for the "clean look". Pretty much any other color if you want to stand out really..

Yea, I emailed BFR about 5X before getting them installed. I was all 'are you SURE I don't need the banjo bolts?' Not sure if I didn't clarify, but I have the bullit brakes. Banjo bolts are needed for the cobra calipers.

That's odd. I read on another forum that a guy with mach 1 brakes needed the course thread. This makes no sense unless it is like the cobra brakes where midway through they changed them from fine to course...
