I found this add but I believe its totally bogus I have never heard of a 15" kit for our car. I asked the guy what size wheels he had on his car he said 20" but they might fit a 17" and fit all 18" can somebody let me know how to positively verify to him that they are factory brakes. correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they are factory

They look like factory Brembo to me, not a grand Tourismo kit

 

looks factory. most aftermarket kits have bracket adapters since caliper bodies are the same from one car to another (higher end manufacturers change the piston size too)

Also a 15" rotor would be heavy if only a 1piece.

Take the image and measure the rotor using the hole centers for the lugs being 5x114.3. Should be able to get close if he gives you a high res pic.

 

he said the rotors are 2.3" larger than factory think maybe be bought an adapter bracket from somewhere like racing brakes and bought larger rotors and kept the oem brembo callipers. he is set on them being after market i need some sort of proof he wants 3000 for them unbelievable

looking at them and looking at other factory brembo they are slightly different where the pistons are is more distinctive more round I also did some digging and found the guys car online. the brakes are on his car but its still hard to tell

I think i figured it out I think they are off an evo 8 they look identical to these ones. Actually they are slightly different. gees I'm confused

His sign says January 2012 - he's been adverising them for 2 years? Something seems a little off...

 

ya i know makes me a little worried too I'm going to steer clear not worth it

 

Looking at his other ads, he seems like a rig-pig who overspent and is trying to dig himself out of a hole. He's trying to get as much for his sh*t as possible.

Good call to steer clear.

 

what other add? oh the gt-r

He's selling a GTR, motorcycle suit, renting a room in his house...

 

ya I'm going to pass on this sale join got look for some stoptechs I think but fort mac really lacks in tuner parts

 

You're in Fort Mac right now?

 

yup

 

JB's in Edmonton has Stoptech. They're pretty decent with their pricing too. (If you are open to making a 4 hour drive)

 

For one, if I was selling a set of brakes for $3000 I'd make sure they were chuffing clean that's for sure and as has been said before, it seems like he's in a bit of a hole and struggling to dig himself out of it.

 

Look more like Akebonos to me:

 

Actually I'm convinced they are Akebonos. This guy is trying to pass them off as an aftermarket Brembo kit which obviously is worth way more.

 

Yeah I agree with Advan, they do look like Akebonos. Not off an Evo as there is no cross over tube. Not OEM Nissan either as the shape is way off. Definitely not $3000. Good call on staying away.

 

Those are Akebono's. Good eyes.

 

Call him on it, black3.5z; and post the convo for our enjoyment
