Anyone seen this company?

I taked to a local fab shop that used to install them His experience was not 100% good. Sees that their caliper manufacture had some quality control issues and some of the castings were porus to the point that brake fluid would leach out. The defective parts never made it out of the fab shop and were replaced by the MFG....but it makes one a bit leary.

Seems like a lot of money for a set of disc brakes. I'll continue swapping in ZJ disc brakes at a fraction of the cost of the TSM kits.

Yea ZJ Brake backing plates take very little fabing to work and can be found easy and cheap. I am going to have a couple sets for sale soon.

Ya I know all about the ZJ parts ( I have a set that I'll be installing come spring)

Just thought it was a cool bolt in idea for those less fab savy...

I did see on the site where you can choose just to get the mount and tells you what vehicle to source your calipers and rotors from..
