I wanted to post about my recent experiences with Kore 3. Bottom line, they are flat out awesome on customer support.
I bought their C5/C6 setup for my 1971 Chevelle. I had a custom Strange 9" rear built for the car to handle the 1200ish WHP and I got to choose my axle tube flange style. At the advise of Tobin at Kore 3, I got the "big ford Torino" style flanges. Strange's tolerances are not that of OEM, so the axle bearings stuck out further from the axle than that OEM drum brake baking plate would (all new stuff to a GM person like myself). So I needed to fill a gap, and that gap directly affected brake alignment.
I called tobin early on a monday morning (I'm central time, he's Oregon) and he was at work. That right there says a lot. Anyway, within a weeks time and several emails, Tobin shipped me some shims to fill the gap. AT NO COST to me.
He could easily have said that the problem was Strange's fault.
He was very helpful during the ordering process because I had wanted to run a hydro-boost setup for braking, but could not afford the space due to the 3" downpipe from the driver's side turbo.
