The brakes were not locked up tight. They spun freely but did have a slight "dragging" sound as if the pads were slightly touching the rotor. I do take responsibility for test driving the car with the sound. Now i know to never cut corners when it comes to quality and customer service. Lesson learned!

I agree that parts should be correct - but I think that if you're doing the work you also have to accept responsibility for checking to see that things are right. It's your car - it's you doing the work - and the only guy that's ultimately responsible is going to be you.
It's hot rodding -- the guy putting the stuff together is the guy that needs to be the one with the eyes on the job.
Sorry it happened -- but.... we all know there's way too many parts and pieces out there being put together in so many configurations. And parts get shipped that are wrong.
