Default Ebay Big Brake Kit??

Tonight I was bored, so I was scrolling through ebay and came across these.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Big-B...Q5fAccessories
I think that they are probably going to end up being cheep and of poor quality. But I just wanted to get the oppinion of more experienced people. Also don't start with the "egay" or everything they sell on ebay is crap, I've heard it all before, just wondering what you guys think.

Well... wilwood is a good brand, but that's just the calipers and pads... can't say much of the rotors and steel lines... the rotors look cheaply made, the steel braided brake lines sound good, but like you said, it's ebay, so it could be some knockoffs.

Quality should be fine because of the vendor. But the reason they are so cheap, my guess, is because they don't ship before 12/24/08... So you pay now and get them 6 months later when they need to get rid of their stock. Not bad if you want to wait and can wait.

I dunno, the guy has 100% feedback with over 500 transactions. I think it's legit. Go for it.

Yea im guessin if he has that much Ebay cred go for it, if worst comes to worst and they turn out to be a bust, i think you can file a complaint and do all the ebayers a favor get that sucker booted..

first clue - it says it fits all 2002-2008 350Z's. Interesting, since there should be a difference between BBK's for Z's in terms of overall bias. Stoptech, Endless, and others, all have different kits based on production date of the car, for example.

second - any dust shields on those calipers? worth looking into

lmao, why buy the real thing when you can have an authentic looking brembo caliper! To the OP though, I`d be skeptical about buying a product like this from ebay to save money, especially when it fits an 02 350Z

That is simply a perfect-brake-performance kit using Wilwood FSL calipers and BP10 pads. Nothing about it is Wilwood factory kit.
