OK. I took his comment to mean that without a reputation of performing at the highest level, it is difficult to see how grandiose claims can be supported. And I agree. I've seen a variety of systems...

I've only dealt with this issue a handful of times, but not in the last year or two. Currently, all AP Racing road car calipers are being shipped with seal material technology that was used in...

Vehicles that have a drum-in-hat (DIH) mechanism for a parking brake, like most Nissans do, rely on the hat portion to stand up to the load put on them by the brake shoes. There a hill-holding...

The iron outer rings are are sold separately and can easily be replaced by a qualified mechanic (or an experienced DIY'er that is methodical about reading instructions). New hardware should always be...

Me neither. But over the 20 years I've been in this industry I've learned that reputations mean something. They are hard earned and quickly lost. I have also come to understand that I'm buying an...

Yes, I hear this a lot. Unfortunately, the engineers don't win all the battles. Sometimes the accountants (most of the time, actually) get the last word. You should talk to someone with a Corvette C6...
