Did it take a long time to ship? They have many slow ship feedback.

search for their store on ebay, they have listings starting at 177 and new ones at 232, the 177 ones are the old listings but with the same product, so hurry while you still can get that old price!

I just ordered a set over the phone yesterday. Same exact thing (all four + ceramic pads). They told me it takes 2-4 days to put the zinc coating on, QC, etc, then they ship. The zinc coating gets rubbed off where the pads hit, which may be why one poster says they feel better now than when new... takes time to rub off. The $220 or so is about the same for us Californians.. they are in Orange County so charge state tax of 7.75%. I liked the guy that helped me, but pricing was the same as on eBay... exactly the same... Can't wait to get my package next week some time...

Now I just need to figure out if I do this myself, or have my local shop install....

thevikas87: if that's all you have, then give it a shot-good luck! I used air ratchets/impact sockets-makes the work sooooooooo much quicker.

from what everyone says its a pice of cake. You use the TL pads, TL rotor, TL caliper bracket, and Legend Caliper and put the passenger side one on the drivers side and vice versa. Seems easy enuff. I will probably put mine on next week. I gota paint them 1st

Might want to look into a electric impact gun if you dont want to shell out for a compressor, have no room for it, or aren't getting anymore air tools.
