FYI on the Brembo's for the upgrade guys

I picked up a pair of these off of my local AutoZone. I run a shop and had them get a set for me to check out. I got these, and they sell them on the counter at $75 or so after the core... These are ready to go with the cross over line, and fresh seals from brembo.. a few scratches, much cheaper, and a warranty. By the time I pull the wagner pads, and rotors from the stock room and add these, I'll have less in these than what I can grab the calipers online for... pics coming soon, as business allows me to snag an open bay...

Man I would love another set of them for my panel, it has the stock SS brakes but them are so wimpy.

A nice coat of paint will take care of those scratches.

Do you mean $75 *including* the core? Meaning I don't need a core?

this is my personal experience, and thought I would share....

ADV and oreilly both procrastinated and lost the sale.... these guys did the trick, so use who you want....

if you want to keep the calipers, add 50 bucks each...

you guys sure are the life of the party!

Ya..been watching for awhile now when they get them in stock...they listed them for awhile now butno stock....well, they are in now...was just at oreillys last week and they now have them...at around the same price...and will price match. It was only a matter of time, calipers dont last forever

So, they took the old non-Brembo calipers as cores?
