I talked to a guy at Kanter today. He didn't have any information for me, which I thought was odd. No pictures, no instructions. He emailed the company that makes the kits for them for instructions. He did say most of the parts are shelf parts. Well that was pretty vague. But I could easily contact them for parts and they contact the vendor. Sounds like some turnaround. Well if I need a part quickly, that's not going to do me any good.lol I don't think people understand that some people actually drive and use their collector cars. If I'm halfway across the country on a route 66 trip and I need a brake part, I want to be able to hit an auto parts store. Most get twice daily deliveries, so even if they didn't stock it, you could likely have it the same day or next morning.

Another concern with any proprietary parts if they go out of business or discontinue the kit/parts. Or choose another vendor for the kits. Could find yourself with some parts you can't replace. Seems the rotors are the only part modified. Scarebird and Abs Power Brake are. Wouldn't be surprised if Kanter's rotors are modified too. Wilwood rotors aren't, but can't just buy Wildwood brake parts just anywhere. Hopefully I can get more information on the Kanter kit.
