It is very commendable that you strive to sell only the highest quality of products, however, i am just trying to determine your metric for "quality".  The points you bring up refer to fade and longevity (neither of which are problems i've ever had), and you give an anecdotal point about stopping power...
When set up correctly, how much more "powerful" would you say the big brake kit is? 10%? 50%?

It would be interesting to do a before and after 60-0mph stop test and look at the total distance difference.

Have you ever had your brakes over heat and fail in your loaded Westy down a
long, steep, winding grade? The vented rotors overcome this problem.

Have you ever had your front brake rotors warp? The vented rotors overcome
this problem.

How long do your rotors and pads last? I bet the bigger brakes will last much
longer.

I had one customer e-mail me after installing the big brake kit and said it
saved his Vanagon from being totaled.

I am very picky about what I sell. If I don't believe in it I won't sell it.
My main biz is auto repair not parts sales.
