Thanks for the heads up - noted and avoided, I have read a few other bad reviews online about them, then there all the good reviews so difficult to make a choice nowadays. Like you said its just a pity as your happy with the brakes, just the poor attitude lets them down. Cant wait to see them all fitted though.

Good news! Spacers arrived after all (guess they posted them before reading my rant, comments which still apply!!) and brakes now seem a good fit 
Relief...

Wow Simon, what a story!
Nothing worse than a company who bend over backwards until they have your money and then couldn't give two craps about you. Aside from taking the pistols and having you waiting for something you shouldn't have to wait for AT ALL, the comment about "if all customers were like you..." is an utter disgrace.
Not the first time I've heard reports of very poor service from these jokers. They won't be getting any of my business that's for sure!

As bad as that experience reads, sadly I'm not surprised.
Sounds like a carbon copy of three similar experiences that I've had. I'm not sure if anyone used to be on CS in the early 00's, but pre-KTEC (who are also a shambles, in my experience) there was a company called GDI. Andy used to work for them/own the company.
Now that is a funny story. It's a shame the thread was nuked.
Anyyyyyyway. Yeah. Brakes look awesome. You've got to love two piece.

Well a decent outcome in the end, but what an absolutely diabolical way to deal with a customer! To be fair to them Simon, how dare you call up a company and ask for updates about products that you've spent a large amount of your hard-earned money on!

I'll do my best mate. I had hoped to get some sort of data logging to compare performance before and after (e.g. 60-0) but couldn't justify the expense.
You must have driven it. If only for a short spell.....
You going to give us any clues about feel, blood-vessel popping stopping ability or whether the chicks down your way dig big rotors ?

Didn't CS nearly get into a bit of bother ktec bashing? Or am I imagining that?

I haven't even seen it in person mate, let alone driven it
Will give you some feedback when it's back soon.I think Surrey chicks prefer big wallets, not big rotors. That's why I have a Czech wife

Thanks mate. I used a guy Sussex Hydrographix only because a couple of others near me had closed down. As the bits I had done were large I wanted someone within a reasonable drive. Wouldn't recommend him though, my seat backs were crap. If you want to be assured of a good job, use Simon at SprayShack. Otherwise try to see if you have anyone local to you and pay them a visit to see their work.
