Hang on to your misconceptions people obviously you are not interested in actual knowledge. If a trade mag from the brake industry does not mean anything the you are too far gone for me to bother with.

I agree with you except I have also read trade magazines stating calipers should be changed around 100k miles and struts at 50k.. For optimum performance out of a vehicle, maybe, but in my opinion, that's crazy. Now the author was suggesting ways to make your shop more profitable, but to me that's just ripping people off. And I'm talking the normal passenger car, not our boxsters.

I agree with you Jake. I can't tell you how pissed I get when I hear of people that take their cars to mechanics for simple fixes (not asking me first) and walk away paying 10x more for things they never needed. There are people in every profession that will take advantage, it's worst when it's a profession near a dear to your heart.
