Anyone need\want Brembo's?
Not sure how good of a deal this is, but I found this on eBay tonight and figured I'd pass it on to you all here. Maybe someone will benefit from it:

pretty good price.but you'll need alot more than just the calipers. i did the swap myself, also got it off ebay. you will need knuckles,lines/flex hoses,brackets for flexhose to knuckle,caliper to knuckle shim,rotors,hubs and bearings(may re-use old one), and possibly speed sensors if they become seized in the original knuckles.

I did the swap as well if you think you can just buy calipers, you are in for a big surprise. There is a LOT more involved.

why do people insist on posting ebay finds that are not the right thing for our cars?
I can understand if you KNOW you have found a killer deal,,,but if you are not the guru of that part on azine...its probably too good to be true,, and just waste bandwidth and get people excited over nothing
I can paint your car for 99.95 too!!!!
but there may be some drawbacks like- no prep work included and we use house paint on a brush~ lol

wouldn't it make more sense to upgrade to BBK from a different company like willwood, stoptech or rotora since for one it would be more unique, much better looking and much better performance for a similar price.
I fail to see how these don't apply to us? They're from a 3G TL

Correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm very curious right now.
btw, how big are the fronts? in mm's? TIA

the rear brakes dont need to be larger- more grip just encourages the rear end to come around on hard braking
70% of the braking is done with the fronts
You can paint calipers and brackets black~ paint BIMBO on them

for real info contact Excelerate- he says the Wilwood 6 pot/pistons calipers are a better deal than trying to upgrade to brembo 4 piston
If you find a complete package deal - sure post it for others!
If you KNOW the subject matter at hand and that its a real deal

Personally, I thought the calipers were a little pricey given what I've seen them go for in the BM. Silly auto recyclers...they think if they list something for less than it would cost from a dealer that people will think it's a deal.

Dealerships sells calipers for almost 800 in certain places. Delray acura sells them for about 600 or a bit less. These calipers here are in pretty good damn condition with pads that have more than enough life left.. the guy selling these doesn't know how to judge pad life.
I had a swap calipers because the old ones had clear coat peeling problems. For anyone that has this problem and doesn't want to re-finish the calipers themselves well this is for you. For those that want to do the swap well... IF you buy the calipers new from acura YOUR still going to pay more than this price. Why not save some money and get these... That's how you guys need to look at it. Does it work with our Cars.. well yes if you buy the rest of the parts to make them fit.

Oh, and I apologize for wasting so much bandwith. I forgot how utterly precious it is right now. Maybe you shouldn't have wasted any bandwidth with your rediculous complaint.
I'm terribly sorry to all those I offended...
