Your positive thinking mind is good. Life is short, enjoy your mod.

Even spend couple Ks, You will even don't know where your parts come from.

I learned that Z17/18 mostly comed from Porsche996, as said that my package is NOT come from factory!
(I m sure about this, as I was there to see this package opened, actually its not package at all!)
He definitely cannot prove my caliper is brand new and buy from dealer, as before I oredering the caliper was already there!

So you know what, I am paying some thousands more and get a SECOND-HAND PARTS!!!
right icic

It makes me fucking angry!
Jacky bro, cheer up. That's true, I have compared prices for the KWV3 and Brembo with the authorized dealers in HK. They quoted more than what I am getting at "Z" shop. I strongly recommend bros to shop around.

Also, I don't want to be the frontier on mods. I saw the F10 guys in the states who have already done the mods and I PM them for details prior to making any decisions. Just don't want to be the first guy and mess up badly.

I learned this and went to the other "M" garage this 335 guy recommended to do my springs. "M" garage made a mess out of it and I busted them big time. My advice is no shop is perfect, just hit or miss.

I had a couple of things done at "Z" shop and so have a few more F10 guys. All very satisfied with their service. That's why I will be doing my suspensions and brakes there and also recommended Jacky. Again nothing is guaranteed but from our experiences recently, not a bad garage to go to.

Well, butchering a customer means that the shop owner is not looking for a returning customer.
I concur with you trustworthiness is very important as a business owner.

How's Level III training, I think there's a lot of fun, isn't it?
