FYI, I've been replacing my stock calipers with Powerstop brand calipers. Thought that since I was replacing all new pads and roters, I'd like the calipers powder coated red. What a mistake that was...
Went to replace the rear rotors and the brand new Powerstop calipers they came to me with NO threads for the brake lines. Awsome! Yep, you read it, no threads for the brake line to connect to. Almost like they were stripped out, but the casting was completely gone? Weird. This is finding it, after I have the originals removed. So, imagine what a PITA it is to go back to stock and bleed the breaks. Wait a minute, it gets better yet...
I receive a new pair, after I called CS livid that I had to deal with this and a lack of quality control. About 4 days later, after they told me they would overnight me a new set, arrives my new pair. So, I go through the same motions of removing the old calipers. Just to find out, they sent me 2 right sided calipers and no left side! Are you freaking kidding me?? The weird part is, I'm not sure what they are? Both sides have the casting of "R", but the bleeders are reversed for a correct pair. However, it will not mount up properly on the left side. Im not sure whats going with them, maybe this pair was in a prior bad accident, causing the frame and caliper to be bent?
I'm not sure I want to even use this company anymore to try putting on another set. Maybe the third time is a charm? I just have a sour taste in my mouth and a lot of lost time... Absolutely ridiculous and some ridiculous quality control from this company. Never again!
Just a heads up people...
Rant over. Mike :mad2:
