What would you guys do (stoptech)?

Stoptech in torrance was asking for any tsx'ers in the area to use their cars for the day to measure brakes.. I volunteered. Now they say its going to be a 3 day thing. Not 3 days in a row, but 3 days spread out throughout the month maybe? I was ok with that.

1st day measurements
2nd day fitment
3rd day actual testing will be done on my car.

Compensation:

probably only pads or lines?!

what would you guys do? I haven't even driven my car hard, but now they're going to do testing on my car? you guys think its worth it?

I'd do it for a BBK but not just for pads. You'd probably have to replace the pads after the testing anyways.

So you're the one! They have been trying to work on the rotors cause the replacement ones they currently sell are not EXACT replacements. I have a thread somewhere around here about all that!
I think asking for a BBK is unrealistic since they're not using your car to make a BBK. I would tell them to at least hook you up w/ a set of the rotors they are making when they are done, and no verbal agreement shit, make them sign something. Those guys are a bit on the not trustworthy side if ya ask me.
Either way, good luck and hope you get them to finally produce something worth buying!

took my baby in today .. waiting to pick it up at 5-6. i cant wait to get her back. they said today i will be compensated with lines. next time if i do fitment they will give me pads i think. and i doubt i will be doing actual testing on my car, they said 40% off retail BBK.. i cant afford it right now.

Nice to know that Stoptech is redesigning their BBK to exact specs. Some other companies should take notice.....DC Sports?
