I want these gone, for the right price...

I know you guys:
1) Will probably have no use for these.
2) Will low ball the hell out of me

But maybe you know someone needs/wants these... so... Please send them my way

what size rotors are they meant for? I'd give you like.. $200

9/18/2009 2:29:32 PM

damn did you leave those outside in the rain?

9/18/2009 5:51:36 PM

..because brakes don't get wet when they're on a car or anything..

don't get what?

9/18/2009 6:29:19 PM

^^^^ The fronts calipers work on 332mm x 32mm rotors. The rears work on 299mm x 24mm rotors.

^^^ No, they've actually been inside in a closet. The rotors are fine and still usable, despite the surface rust. You don't have to get them resurfaced. Just put them on the car and a couple stops will clean them right up.

I'll throw in a set of 540i sport stock equipment

9/21/2009 9:10:34 AM

after those rotors where used you could have put them in a perfect vaccum and they would still rust.

9/21/2009 10:35:31 PM

not if oxygen isn't present... Oxygen is the reason why iron "rusts"... (iirc..)

9/21/2009 10:55:28 PM

damn, those fronts could fit my car. That is my current rotor size, but I would have to find carrier adapters to make them work.

9/21/2009 11:56:09 PM

I know that people make adapters all the time to throw on different brakes. Aparrantly, Toyota truck 4-pot calipers,pads, and rotors from are cheap (compared to porsche options) so a few guys on the porsche forum measured out the adapters and fitted them to the 944. I've even seen Jag brake components on a 944/951. From what I've seen, it's not hard nor that expensive to take measurements, draw it up in autocad, and take to your local machine shop. You make custom sound equipment boxes all the time, so I'm sure you would have no trouble with this task if you were up for it Daryl For vehicle as nice as yours, I'd probably suggest getting the front calipers repainted. Or you could just get a caliper cover kit for like $35

I want to sell this as a complete set. It's worthless if I part out the components. This will be going up on ebay shortly. Seeing how I didn't find any other big reds f/s (that weren't $3k new kits for just the front...) I might get lucky and make more than I'm asking.. we'll see... The worst part is going to be shipping

997 Turbo Brake Kit is $7,645.00!!!

^^ Wow, I'll consider it... Because you're talking for the front setup only right?

So yeah. $450 is really low for the front pair (this stuff retails over $1,500 new...) I'll do no less than $600 for the fronts if I'm parting it out. Rear brakes by themselves will be a little hard to sell since it's the fronts that do the majority of the work, thus needing replacement more often.

nah that's for both dawg
they both fit on my car with minor adapter brackets

9/25/2009 11:26:21 PM

So I've got $450.. Thus far...

With that said...

BUMP!

9/30/2009 12:25:06 PM

I've been offered $550 if I part the front set, which is 1/4 of the price new. Hell, you'd be lucky to find just the front for sale at $900 by itself. Consider the rear brakes "free" with purchase.

I've got an ebay bid of $51.00 so far

bumpity bump bump...
