I bought it from ford.and they want me to pay $1050 to fix the problem. to me that doesnt seem right.any thoughts?MaccA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they quoted me 1050 to fix it. I got it serviced where I bought it from. Not real happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a set of brembos and dics for the back. only to find out the rotors are the same any bloody way. could have kicked myself. anyway I,m wanting 6oo. if u want them pm me. I don,t come here much though. fpv747 on ford forums. might also add that's nota bad price from ford, considering,that the rotors I have that I got which were the same were over 700 a peice Edited 12/09/07 11:14 PM by fpv727 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
