Best of luck.
Well, I've actually had a set of front Brembo calipers since when I bought the car.

When I traded in my Bimmer, I traded it in on an FRS.
The next day, the Bimmer went through the shop, and the guy traded in his FRS on my Bimmer, so I bought some parts off of him fairly cheap.

I figure I may as well not let it go to waste.
