Kore 3 brakes - a review from a customer.

[BB_Mike]

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.

My sentiments exactly. Tobin worked with me wonderfully on my brake/wheel setup and built me a set of his awesome hubs with twin bolt patterns for flexibility; 5x120 and 5x4.75.

Mike, thanks for making my Monday morning and I'm glad those spacers/shims did the trick.

Tobin is great to work with, and is a wealth of information. I have been very happy with the level of service, as well as with the parts I have ordered.

I have never purchased a product from Tobin but he is a down to earth, honest guy. I'd definitely do business with him. My circumstances just didn't turn into a purchase.

X2 on all of the above, Tobin is awesome to deal with. I bought some C5/C6 brakes for my AFX spindles from him. I had 17" TT II wheels on my car at the time and he told me he didn't think they would fit. He told me to bring a wheel and spindle down so we could test fit it and verify that I was screwed. :-)
The calipers didn't clear so we discussed a few things but came back to the C5 setup since that is what the spindles are made for. I got different wheels and my wife got the TT II's for her car.
It was really nice of Tobin to take the time to help me check the wheel clearance and talk options with me. He earned my business then and in the future.

Ditto to all above

The same thing happened to me (I had non-standard flanges or bearings), and needed custom size spacers.

Tobin helped me measure and find the correct ones quickly, and efficiently. It all fits perfect now. Excellent customer service!

Great product and service from Tobin. He went above and beyond to communicate with my rear diff builder to get me the right parts.

As they say on eBay, "A+++, would do business with again!"

X3 Tobin was great to deal with! I did the C5 brake swap on my 69 Camaro 2 years ago and love it. IMO, the Kore3 C5/C6 swap is the best bang for the buck as far as brake upgrades go. Thanks again Tobin.

I would say Tobin is the Chuck Norris of the brakes !!

I have bought few things and got awesome customer service. Oh and the packing and instructions are best in industry.
