yea the pads and rotors don't add value. like u said most people replace it anyway. the only other part that has value is the brake lines. that would make it a complete set that would go for about $1k. so just calipers I think $800 is really fair. $900 is fair also I think. brake lines can be bought from z1 for bout $90

The guys saying he sold the last set for $950 and that $900 is the lowest. Should I say $850 and that's my final offer? I really don't wanna pay more then that anyway man.

Also are there any cons to having the calipers rebuilt, will they still perform really good? If there just gonna be a little step up from the oem ones I have now I rather just buy a used akebono bbk or something like that, at least they will be much newer and won't need any rebuilding.

I'm planning on getting the brakenetic replacement brembo rotors
Hps pads
stop tech ss lines

Hey guys so im getting these calipers for $850 as i dont want to wait longer for this brake kit because i need them. I think thats pretty fair. I remember the mechanic saying the pads all had about 40% left around and that was about 3 months ago at least. The car recently starts to jerk when coming to a full stop, sometimes it doesnt but more times then not it does. Also the last few feet before a complete stop the brakes start to squeak. Im pretty sure the rotors are done and pads are just about done. Not to mention they look like crap all rusted up. Ive had the car for 2 years and 4 months now and put on about 25000 miles and have only changed the rear brake pads once. So im just gonna go all out and get a complete new brake kit. Probably the best investment for a car, we all need to stop i think lol.

Heres what im looking at getting, what do you guys think? Can i get these cheaper elsewhere?
