    Have you tried posting this up on the other board? There are a couple people there who seem to enjoy doing something other than just going in a straight line. Probably couldn't hurt!

    PS - I wonder how different a kit for the G8 would be from a Camaro? Maybe there would be some additional interest there?

    I haven't posted it over there but will do it later today; good idea. I don't know what the difference would be, may be worth a question though. I'll ask.

    Thanks! Just posted on the other board. Hopefully I did it in such a way that no rules were violated so I can get some feedback.

    Been wanting to get some sort of venting for my brakes for a while now. figured it wouldn't be too hard to have a shop fab something up so been waiting till i have the money together for the CTS-V brakes before looking into it more seriously. a kit to start from might be nice.

    I spoke with the potential supplier today about the GXP and he said the GT and GXP use the same spindle so the kit will work for both versions. All you GXP guys, let me know if you're in! He will do the design once he gets ten confirmed orders; no one will pay anything until the product ships. I think pricing will still be $215.

    Kevin, thanks for checking back with me. With the clavicle break and surgery, I haven't done anything but it's time for me to get moving again! I need to get together a contact list of e-mails so I can put everyone in touch directly with the potential supplier. They will start work after 10 people make a commitment, so for those interested, please PM me your contact info and I'll compile the list and see what we've got!
