I drive like an idiot so I need as much stop as I can get to match what I push on the go pedal... as for brakes, I think stillen has a large brake conversion for like $1500 you guys can't source that by any chance?
As for the jetta, definitely keep you posted as I need to order them sometime this week... so I'm researching if I can use the GTI big brake factory option... |
Yes I ship to HI all the time, and I understand that freight is expensive. I have no problem shipping this stuff out to you via the USPS, but these dimension rotors will not fit in a 12" box. Let me know what all you want and I can get you a shipping price on parcel post with the post office. It wont be $13 however it will also not be a hundred something either. I could probably get you a set of rotors and a set of pads out to HI for around $50. thats not much more than shipping to CA using UPS.
Also you made the comment
"I just get sick of paying shipping. plus with the posibility of me having to deal with the shipping company should something go wrong in transit.." This is why I dont like to ship with the post office, because we tend to have problems with them. In the 13 years I have been using UPS and the millions of pounds of freight I have shipped with them, I have had only 3 problem shipments! You get what you pay for in the freight business, and while UPS might be a little expensive to HI, they get the job done!
As far as the Stillen big brake kit, I only sell Brembo Big Brake Kits. However what you could do is buy the kit from stillen and ship me the rotors for cryo. We charge $56 per rotor for treatment.
Let me know what I can do to help you guys out. I dont mean to come off as a prick, I'm right there with you, this cost of energy/freight is insane. I will do whatever I can to get you the products you want at a resonable price for freight.
