Default 350z Track edition Brembo front brake caliper setup with goodies

I'm selling my 350z track front Brembo setup. These did not clear my new wheel setup, so I had to swap these out. This is likely the best budget brake upgrade available for the money, with very light rotors and minimized unsprung weight. I had to switch to Stoptech ST40s to clear my unusually tight wheel setup, and I already miss these! They are the BEST performing setup for street use for the money, hands down. They easily outperform my Stoptechs for daily use.

Included:
-OEM 350z Track edition Brembo front calipers
-Brembo pads with a little life left, would recommend replacing soon
-EBC dimpled/slotted rotors with roughly 5k miles - these have amazing reviews and have held up incredibly well for users who both daily and track abuse them. Mine have no warpage and are ready to go, guaranteed. They are NOT crossdrilled! They are capable of being turned once worn.
-Teflon-coated stainless steel braided front brake lines
-Mounting hardware
-Titanium pad shims 1mm thick from Hardbrakes

This is everything you need to install these on your Z. I have never tracked these and they've only been on my dd z. The calipers have some paint chips, but overall they're in good shape and the performance is amazing.

$900 shipped out the door for everything.

Don't full setups go for around $1100? Why are you asking so much for the front two? If you came down some I might be interested.

You could easily tidy up the paint chips and make the callipers more presentable by buying a small tin of Humbrol #54, its a direct match. Buy a model makers brush for $3 and you tidy them up to look like new.

I had touch up paint, but I'm not worried about them. As you said, it costs $3 to do it yourself. If you want them, make them "presentable" with your $3. They're functional, not eye candy. Also, I hear "full sets go for $1100, why are you asking so much" pretty regularly. If that's the case, go buy them for $1100 and stop asking me why I want $900 for mine. This is a full setup with all the upgrades you need, no hassles of putting together your own setup. These are getting harder to find as people off them to the drifters/ricers. eBay used to be full of them, now I see less than a handful and they generally go for $1300+ and you probably won't get rotors. My price is for everything shipped, obo. If someone decides they want this setup, there aren't a whole lot of options in this range. People just think there are because they find them with no rotors/hardware/lines/shims at a lower price. Once they pick up the calipers and add in the extras on their own, they're typically over my price.

Stop telling me what they're worth. They're worth what somebody is willing to pay. You guys don't set prices, the market does. Now if you have an offer, make it or else shut it. Don't need your nonsense in my sale thread.

It's ok, but not a direct match

Sure, I'll even throw in a full set of 18" regamaster evos and a $500 best buy gift card.

Pass. Look above my thread, I've yet to see any sets sell lower than my price in half a year. Piece together your own "bargain" set and you'll be in em more than this after lines and rotors. You've got a guy asking $2k for a full set, that's higher than my price for the fronts considering rears sell considerably cheaper.

You guys think you can still get a full front setup like this for $650 because that's what they sold for awhile back when 350z owners with more money than brains were upgrading and dumping these on the market. But now the pickins are slim and eventually you have to consider that. You'll spend $3-400 per caliper at a junkyard now, mate up some rotors, lines, pads, shims and hardware and you're well over a grand total.

This is what I do, selling parts and cars. I'm used to people who want to get a deal trying to convince me I'm dumb for asking what I ask. Truth is, I know what someone is willing to pay, and I don't mind waiting for that guy to come along. Plain and simple.
