Heck, I got involved with it a little, but couldn't see how it was going to turn out good. Call any of the chains (Midas, Meinke etc.) and have them price out a 2010 Brembo Camaro brake job. It was $1500, and I got a friend to do it at his tire store for $1200. ****ing crazy!

Been there, and restored 14 of them. Time and money I wish I had back.
They just don't drive as nice, nor do they run as flawlessly as the new ones. It is cool to have and old one setting in the garage, and it is fun to drive on occasion. But in varying weather conditions under daily driver circumstances, give me the new one.
