I did not want to write anything bad necessarily, because I did get the parts in a timely manner. However I do have a few issues with the order.

Here is the original post:

My first issue is the Calipers tehmselves. I did get two and they were wrapped up as if new. One did look like it was new, the other however was a greenish metallic color with yellow paint globs. I did not have time to take pictures as I need to paint them and get them on the car. If you look in the topic on the very second post he posts a picture that states:



"EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED IN THIS PICTURE ONLY EXCEPT the TWO ROUND METAL, call rotors. (*edit* oh, the rug & toe is not included" The picture itself is of two calipers, Packaging for pads with "EBC" on the front, and two rotors which aren't a part of the deal.

He should have checked the calipers before sending them out. I had NOT planned on painting them as I liked the aluminum/silver look of the calipers he posted later in the topic:



That is what I expected to get, that is not what I got.

The second issue is with the pads. What I got were not the ones in the picture. While it's not a big deal, I still feel that if you advertise something you need to stick with it. If it changes then you need to make sure you tell your customers that there are changes.


the third issue is with packing. I recieved the calipers in box that was inside a box. Fine, but the calipers themselves were free to roll around inside the thier box. Each Caliper was wrapped in plastic with the pads in the clips and supposedly a small piece of styrefoam to keep the pads in place. However during the cross country trip the foam came out as did the pads. On two of the pds the backing plate came off...To me that is not good packaging. Even stuffing the box with the caliper with newspaper would have been better...

Right now, I am just hoping they fit and work.
