I think the seller responded with why he didn't respond.

However, that's not a low-ball offer at all. These items sell for $1700 new. NEW, as in, warranty, support, business expenses (fabrication,...

I moved to a BBK, DOT4 fluid and brake ducting because a loss of brakes is one of my biggest fears at the track. IMO, the two scariest things on track is a complete loss of brakes and a complete loss...
