Good deal on brembo calipers or not?

[red1993sol]

Looking at doing a brembo swap on the brz, I found some 07 calipers all 4 for 700. I know the rears would be needing the brackets to mount them, I may end up selling those and trying to get some 08+ rears, over all do you think 700 is a fair deal for all four calipers? Thanks

Seems like a fair deal for '07 Brembos. Most are '04-06. Condition/mileage? Dustboots and seals look to still be in good condition? Pistons still operable? Any dings in the caliper or discoloration in the paint which might indicate abuse or if the calipers were heavily tracked?

Got my '08 Brembos for $850 locally. Great shape but 76K miles. Replacing the seals,dust boots, etc. for piece of mind.

for all 4? thats a good deal

I'm also looking to buy front 04-07 calipers, but can't decide what is a good price for them.

around $500 for the front would be a good buy imo as long as the pads, dust boots and the finish is okay.

I happened to scored a full set of 07 sti brembos today for a killer deal.

Did you buy those from Greg? I almost picked those up but decided not to. Very good deal though!!

Thanks I'll keep an eye out now for a good set for $500 or less. Care to share where you got the killer deal?

Craigslist is where I got them. Check on nasioc forum too for those as well as rockauto.com ... They have those centric re manufactured sti brembos, complete with a new dust boots, pins and posi quiet pads on for about $500/pair

On my case, Basically the guy had his 07 sti show car in an accident and decided to part them out. He wasn't going to sell them a couple weeks ago, but he changed his mind.

Nice. Yea i usually check Nasioc, but the cheapest ive seen is $600 and they are usually in poor condition. I need to check craigslist more, and i wish rockauto had actual pics of their products. Thanks again

There are some on rockauto going for $500 for left and right calipers, but i also just discovered that i can purchase the wilwood 03 bbk set brand new for $1000. After purchasing rotors and brake lines the brembo kit would only be about $200 cheaper for used calipers. Can't decide which one is better, and google isn't helping me decide which one is a better performance option. Even though im going mostly for looks
