In fact I complimented Tom for doing this and getting it to a kit.
I'm probably old enough to be most of you guys father and I have modified and worked on cars most of my life and yet I have tremendous respect for the knowledge some of you have on this car and other related areas....
I'm not here to argue I am just here to learn and help out where I can and socialize some as well that's about it. Take what I have said however you like but if you go back and read the posts you will realize that you are wrong with your accusations at least the ones towards me. I think it should be pretty clear now but If I have been misunderstood then I apologize for not clarifying my post's enough to avoid unintentionally pissing people off.

Foolishly sticking my head in the beehive�.
For what its worth Scott, I had a similar reaction to Warmonger�s post when I first saw it. Warmonger can definitely come across as wound too tight sometimes, a natural born rebel. I don�t know if that�s a true reflection of his personality or just an Internet thing.
Reading his posts over the years, I think he deals with one hell of a lot of stress with his active duty military responsibilities. CEG is a pretty safe place to have some fun and maybe blow off some steam occasionally. The reassuring thing is that when he does get PO�d, he usually follows up pretty quickly with something more level headed.
Warmonger, you are very talented hobbyist and I hope a lot of people get to benefit from your creativity with this platform.
But this is just a hobby with you, right? Or is there something more going on here? I believe you when you state that money is not a driver. What is it that you really want?
I could answer that questions myself but I have to say I don�t know if its possible to find on a public forum like CEG. Maybe with the old style car clubs where most things were done face to face - and mostly on the weekends, but not here.

Can we get a rough price estimate? I realize you dont want to get held to anything, but Im curious to know. Even if its a fairly broad range.

Uhh Yeah!! 
Wow, I'm a philosophical guy but his is a little deep eh?
Don't read into it too much. If you've been around longer than me than you'll know that I'm usually a pretty respectfull guy.  Military has nothing to do with this either.
I enjoy building stuff, but I enjoy seeing people use those things/ideas/stuff just as much.
Don't get me wrong, I want my money back out of this project and I AM going to take a little profit for my labors if I produce any more stuff. I won't be raping anyone but there is monetary gain too. 
So just chock it up to the fact that I got pissed off and didn't like the way some things were said. Shyte happens! Not one person but a general trend which is I why I didn't single anyone out.
Sorry to Scott specifically because I wasn't trying to offend him.

Let Stazi get his prices together for rotors and pads unless you just want the bracketry and hardware.
Roughly speaking, as I already said: you will be able to do all four wheels complete for less than what I paid Bill J. for just upgrading to FSVT fronts.
Obviously just the fronts will be significantly cheaper.

Well part of the stipulations are that Steeda can't have any brackets, especially the rears!

Tom,
Yeah I got a little pissy too�been working a lot of hours lately and I�m feeling a little high strung as well. I visit this site and a couple others for my TTA to unwind, relax a little and learn a thing or two when I get a chance. Thanks for your sensible reply...I apologize for over reacting just a little  I was concerned that my post were taken wrong and may have added to the possibility that you would pull the plug on your brake kit and ruin it for all the interested members. You are doing fantastic things for this platform and I�m sure many will appreciate it for a long time to come 
Carry on�
Scott
