haha i got a good laugh outta the fred flinstone comment. Any who that sucks. Save up some cash on the side to get a part and then something goes bad. Just went through the same thing. Had about $1500 for a DP and VB and the day before i went to place my order my brakes went...along with the rotors.... then my 4 way lug wrench couldn't take off the lugs. (threads to long) so i had to have someone else do the repair. LAME-O
