Includes Rotors, Calipers, Brake lines, and what's left of the pads. Brakes were in good working condition, and are a good upgrade to non-vented cars. BEST OFFER!!!

How about $50 shipped for the calipers and brackets?

greg donovan · Post by **greg donovan** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 3:52 pm

30 for the rotors?

Manarius · Post by **Manarius** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 8:46 pm

Will they fit with 14inch rims?

Oops. Front brakes != rear brakes.

Are you sure about that? They're the same diameter as stock non-turbo brakes, after all.

THAWA- What brackets...? You can have them, I'm just not sure what you need. I will take 50 for those parts, but woun't eat the shipping. Make it $60 shipped and I'll cover anything over 10 bucks.

Greg - I will take 30 for the rotors if you pay for the shipping and paypal fees.

I'd almost be willing to swap to vented rears if they'll work with my steelies. I've always wanted 4 wheel vented. Add to that they're the same diameter so my brake pads now will work with them...right?

If they're still available...I'm open.

Manarius- They are still available, let me know.

If Vikash confirms that they'll work with my steelies. and pads, $60 shipped sounds fine.

60 shipped was for THAWA above, who didn't need the rotors... Those are pricey to ship. Make me an offer though, whatever.

True. If Vikash confirms that they'll work, I'll bump up the offer.

I can't promise anything. All I can say is:

Turbo and NA rear brakes are the same diameter. Turbo rotors are about 9mm thicker than non-turbos'. Turbo calipers use the same basic design as non-turbo calipers (and in fact use the same pads), but are slightly different to accomodate the wider rotor.

The brackets are the cast iron pieces that the calipers bolt to. They then bolt to the backing plate. Price sounds good to me. You take paypal?

nicfunkadelic · Post by **nicfunkadelic** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 6:16 am

yes I do, n.juncadella@comcast.net for paypal.
I will be in the garage tomorrow, and will get everything together for shipment.

Manarius, just want to give you a heads up, if you're still running NA front rotors and you get the turbo rears, you'll end up locking up the rears first under hard braking. The turbo rear caliper has a larger piston than the NA. While this can be fun it also does have it's distinct draw backs and problems, just an FYI.

As for if they'll fit in your 14's, I would think so but can't make any gaurentees.

Yeah, I thought about that as well. I think I'll just hold off until I pick up a set of 15's or 16's so I can do 4 wheel brake upgrade.

Greg, Rotors are in good shape, a little rusty from the last couple weeks of my swap, but they are not warped at all. The car was on the road up untill 3 weeks ago, and the brakes were good. I will try to get you some pics, but I can't seem to find the cord to my camera recently. I will do a good search tomorrow morning.

nicfunkadelic · Post by **nicfunkadelic** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 7:30 am
