Sure, they sell some other things, but Brakes are their primary market. @JRitt has been in the brake industry for how long now?
Essex has been in business for over 30 years, and the bulk of our business is brakes. We do a few other small things, but we have about 25 full-time people almost solely focused on brakes. We sell directly to NASCAR Sprint Cup teams, IMSA teams, IndyCar, World Challenge, etc. We have a brake dyno, brake burnishing machines, caliper re-certification center, etc. Since graduating evil medical school, aftermarket brakes is pretty much what I've been doing all day, every day for the past 13 years. You can watch our company overview video here (please excuse the fact that I look like a zombie in the vid...it was bad lighting!).

Okay, at this point I have to officially apologize for the thread-jacking. Sorry to the OP. I owe you a beer or three if we ever meet in person.
