at least their website now says that they no longer sell the calipers as they have used all from local scrap yards. lol.

"Then just bolt on a S series set of rear calipers and rotors and you are set. We no longer offer the calipers, we managed to consume all of them from local yards."

I think this thread got blown way out of proportion. I did work with the seller and was willing to work with him. You are only seeing one side of the story. As for the end links, I had a set on my car that have still been on there. I do not hold your money for 4 weeks the items are special order so it takes time for them to come in.

I have posted many positive reviews for vendors here that truly are exeptional and deserve the good feedback. I've dealt with many A-Class companies on this forum such as Turbo Tech Racing, R1 Concepts, Crate Engine Depot, MRZ Performance, Cosmo Racing, Northern Star Designs, Never Enough Auto, Parts for your Car (PFYC), ZZ Performance and Clear Image Automotive

I would have done the same for you if your brake conversion kit was deserving of a good review.

C'mon be real here, those are junkyard calipers from a 93 to 98 Saturn S-Series. That means they are anywhere from 12 to 17 years old.
Your telling me you would install that on your model 2006 car.
I could get those from my local junkyard for $5 each.
Brand new OEM S-series calipers run around $180 each at the dealership and you would have not made much profit on this $500 deal so you decided to pull a quick one and send junkyard calipers.

Let's hear your side of the story and then when your done post pictures of your brake kit installed on a cobalt.

Show me how you run the stainless brake lines without kinking then I want to see how the geometry on the E-brake cables work, E-brake extension and how it all mounts and functions.

First off I would like to say that we were working with you the whole time on this case. The kit that you ordered did not come with powdercoated calipers. the calipers you got were from a local yard. We do not offer this anymore as people were being to picky about the condition. The calipers were basically provided for a one stop shop. YOu are correct in saying that you should have never got the calipers coated in rust and I do apologize. I have however offered to repowdercoat them for free. The other issues you had were with the brake line. If you take the line and run it the correct route there is no issue with the lines kinking. Since this is a rear kit and not a front kit the lines will never bind as long as they dont get cought in the spring.

I am very sorry I am just now seeing this. We are willing to do what ever it takes to make this right, so please PM me so we can take care of you.
