Is this a good deal on a used front Brembo BBK?

Im looking to get these. The guy there told me he would do it for $850? Or what should i offer them? How does the condition of the calipers and rotors look to any of you experts? Anything i should worry about? His feedback seems to be perfect. Thanks!

If that's just the fronts that's not a good deal. I see the whole kits in fairly good condition go for 12-14k

Yah my aboslute max was $1500 for front and back and thats if there in mint condition. Id say these are worth $600 max? Mind you thats american once converted im at $650, id say thats fair. How does the condition look? Should i ask if i can just buy the calipers, i rather buy brand new brembo rotors for $450 for the pair off tire rack.

They look rough. I would say just 500 for the front calipers. You might want to get them rebuilt too. And yea I would look in to new rotors they tend to warp so I've heard.

take into consideration that the fronts I would say are worth more than the rears. if a full used set goes for $1k Id divide it as $3-400 for the rears and $6-7 for the fronts. something like that is reasonable imo

My budget is $1500, I want to get the following, what do you guys think?

Brembo replacement rotors by Brakenetic $270
Hawk hps brake pads $125
Stoptech stainless steel brake lines $125
Brembo caliper rebuild kit $80

If i can get the calipers for give or take $900 im happy.

Is this reasonable?

I saw a thread on the 350z site that said altima and G35 /350z brakes aren't an easy swap over and there are some issues that need to be addressed. Might want to Google it to make sure you don't get screwed with these if they are for an altima

Just calipers. Most guys on here are selling the rotors and pads together but when you do the math the rotors are usually almost done anyway and don't look to great and the pads are usually somewhere around 50 percent left. I want to get my own rotors and pads etc anyway. You think $800 is too much? His buy it now price was $1100.
