Yeah, they want your business badly.
The first thing the guys at Springfield Brake told me when I mentioned lines was "We will beat ANY online price you find!"
Its important to put out local lines for parts you need, granted not all can be done locally but if you can get by doing some your doing good.

There's also a mid way point between the two: Roush 13" set up. Not as spendy at the 14" Alcons, but will lock down harder than the Cobra/Bullitt/Mach 1s. Then again, street cars don't really need more than the 13" with some good pads.

For what I am doing, I will need something better than Cobra brakes.

What are you doing that Cobra brakes with better pads and rotors, ss lines, and higher temp fluid wouldn't have sufficed?

I'm staying up all night tonight and going into the shop soon as it opens tomorrow for brake work. I just dont have the money right now for anything fancy so Im just gonna let them put whatever they use or it needs on it. I'm not sure what that will be. motorcraft or something probably. Long as it stops and doesn't cost a fortune.

I Still have to make an official thread but I was waiting for the video camera or DSLR with HD, my 1DIII (although awesome) doesnt do HD video - I need a IDIV for that.

So far in my book the Mach 1 set up is more than enough for for a slightly modded DD. I have it, I love it, and it is very easy to install, and replace. Dont listen to much to ESG - he's always in a bad mood.

Well I got over there but they couldn't fix my brakes. They couldn't get the wheels off hehe. Has some kind of anti theft lug nuts on it. He had to order a special socket for it. Gonna cost me $10. Gotta go back tomorrow now.
