not just you but people who can be count as
"haters" here,
why don't u sell ur lex and get a geo metro or something?
to some people a 800 bucks car is even too much. and "will never spend more than 6k for a car"
some people would never spend that much on an exhaust like i did or on doug's bbk.
people value goods differently, a girl may spend as much as 2g for a bag, that i'd never understand.
btw, doug!
ur bbk puts my bbk into shame....
ur rear = my front.

I was just rendered speechless. They remind me of the S65 AMG front calipers, I believe they are 12 piston because they seem to wrap around half of the rotors. Handsdown the cleaniest and nicest 2IS out to date. Keep us posted.

I believe they are 12 pistons for a 604hp and 738lb ft of torque rocket. I saw one the other day in the showroom going for $191,000. The least they can do is give you 12 pistons for that.

asuka, who said anything about there being something wrong with it? I was saying I couldn't believe it would cost that much just for the brakes...
If that's how much it costs, I'm shocked, but not apalled. (... although I would never, ever spend that much on brakes myself.)
