Count me in on a group buy as well. BTW - the only think that would scare me about the install (If I were to do it myself) would be bleeding the brakes afterward. Some vehicles can be somewhat difficult to bleed. (some have to have to the ABS bled first, etc, etc) Anyone have a set of instructions for bleeding a Benz (Please no Jokes about a bullet through the center of the Star).

Chuck;

I saw a previous thread that had a posting from Ben Kleinberg from EVOSport.

number 714-901-3100 Ext 11.
ben@evosport.com


Don't know if he is the right guy to talk to or not, but if you want you could give him a call.


Regards;
Ed

Bold means verified.

I need yall to verify if you want to get the kits or not, if you want to be on the list tell me somehow. In about 24-48 hours I'll tell Ben about this and see if he gives a thumbs up. Remember, the more people we get, the lower the price is.. as usual

It costs ~$1000 on a low ball end, it's expensive to ship from the US to Germany. Shipping individual kits is $$$$

Keep in mind yall, I'm still gathering a head count right now, the group buy may or may not happen, the dollar has dropped a lot (~30%) so each part from Germany costs about that much more to get for Evosport.

Oh I'm not getting either, it's not my car I'd have to find a LS430 brake kit or something for my car if I wanted to upgrade

Dad already stops fast enough, it's not like he still drives that car.

you guys should really start another thread for the group buy. I just looked by accident at this thread. Depending on the price, count me in too btw.
