Before you use exclamations and capitals, maybe you should read what you
write, since Tom was replying to what YOU wrote:

Tom was only using your language, "bolt on calipers which IS what I
said".

Remember this...

"I am NOT trying to start anything but only trying to stop the uneducated
suggestions that I have been seeing more and more of lately.  I realize
that
nobody is perfect and mistakes are made (I think I made one once: ) ) but
if
we claim to have experience and the list is to be ran professionally (to
a
point) then we need to make sure our information is correct.  With the
internet, it is really easy to back up something that you heard the other
day at your friend's house about one header working better than another
header by checking the specs online.  Just make sure that your
information
is backed up!!  Plus, for people being advised, make sure that you get
other
opinions and do some research of your own.  DON'T go by what a couple
people
on a some newsgroup told you what to do on your own car.  Ultimately, the
end user is the one responsible for what they do to their own cars!!!"

...That's exactly right Tom!!!

Btw, if you are replying to someone's post, PLEASE send them a copy, it's
the right thing to do.
