Perhaps not as interesting as Mike's patch welding, but still, I LOVE Advance Auto!
First it was $19.09 reman calipers and brake hoses on Memorial Day weekend that I got overnight (how could you not love this place?).
But then, I saw something in a mailbox flier I think it was for $30 off a $150 order (that's 20% boys and girls) and free shipping? Well, that's all it took to put me into orbit on the Cobra brake upgrade I have been slowly starting to collect parts for!
So two days later I took delivery of a set of 4 aftermarket (Wearever which I believe is a Wagner brand) 94 - 04 Cobra rotors for just a tad over $150 to my door!
I had gone hog wild and placed two additional $150+ orders for front and rear Cobra calipers and such but subsequently found that buying new Ford Racing pieces from the right places (shop it!) was considerably cheaper and pads were included (big savings there). I managed to cancel one order about 12 hours later, the other one was too far along to cancel, but I was told I could return to the store once it arrived (painless, did this yesterday).
Inside one of the boxes that arrived was a link for another 20% off a $50 order and the wheels started turning. New drum spindle wheel bearings, seals (American made - they sell both Chinese and American - I went with American), grease caps, a couple metric banjo bolts, a couple Pure One oil filters, an extra Purolator air filter for my Ram-Air setup (have a $5 rebate, limit two mail-in coupon), drum wheel studs, and the list goes on! Two $50 orders, both 20% off, one was over $75 (free shipping minimum) and it all will all show up in two days! Am at about 98% complete on parts acquisition for my ECI-Bob Cobra brake kit. Yes, I'm a shopper.
