Just a shameless plug, (I haven't even met him in person)
but Ray has done more for brakes on Dodge than Dodge ever considered doing. And I am positive, the prices he sells his parts at are cheaper than having a local guy fabricate them. How do I know this???
I did mine just before he came on line :o( Price difference was around $400 more for mine,(4 disc) as I had to pay for machining.
Additionally, I'm fairly certain, that with his machine shop set up for "Aircraft" parts, between the FAA, and customers for heilicopters, I just imagine the manufacture of the Dodge parts is strickly a "after hours" activity. (Think of the tolerance and certification that goes into aircraft parts, and the inspection processes for safety/reliability!) If you haven't been aroud aviation, trust me, an altenator for a little Cessna can run HUNDREDS of bucks, and it sure looks just like your cars altenator...
I really wish I had another Dodge to refit with some of Rays stuff, as his primarily bolt-on mods would make it a joy to drive and safer to boot.
Just my opinion of Ray's services.
