Brembo Brakes (Front Caliper/Disk, Spacers, Hoses, Pads)
Bought a whole load of bits to fit some tasty Brembos to my Classic out here in Japan. Paid a lot of money to get the brakes reconditioned and sprayed a gorgeous pearl white. Found that the Japanese want crazy money to fit them so considering selling the kit I have made up.
Pics :
Picasa Web Albums - Ian - Brembo Brakes
Consists of :
Front Brembo Calipers (from a Newage Impreza)
* All new seals etc by local Japanese tuning specialist. Resprayed pearl white.
Full set of Goodrich Braided Hoses - NEW from BOB5
Performance Friction Fast Road Pads - 1001Z - NEW from BOB5
Not Pictured but also included :
10mm Eibach Hubcentric Spacers (to enable fitting to most wheels)
Used grooved discs in good condition
I dont really know what shipping may cost but may be willing to go 50/50 with a potential buyer to get it back to the UK. May be worth selling without the discs as they weigh a ton and can be sourced in the UK quite cheaply.
I am really looking to get my money back on these bits and save someone a lot of effort and time. If no one is interested I may fit them when I ship my car back to the UK in the future. Was told it was around a £70 job by a UK garage but out here they want over £250
Cost me around £800
Will accept £700 + Delivery.
Possibly nice alternative to K-Sport setup for someone who is looking to keep with the more OEM look, ease of pad purchase etc.

I really, really wish I had the skills, tools, patience and space to do that.. out here there is just no open space to do it.. My car parking space is tiny and a 5min walk from my house.. If no one wants them I am sure I will just wait until I can get back to the UK and get Godspeed brakes to fit them.

I may well get them fitted in the future but the strong yen isn't helping my sale.
I'm not looking to lose money just get back most of what I paid.
If it was just calipers expensive but for a full set of hoses, some great pads and hubcentric spacers I think it is reasonable. All new boxed bits remember (except calipers).
Opinions noted though.

if you get the asking price then i will congratulate you. would rather k-sport tbh.
try thinking about the price again, or i would smell a scam on its way imo

For now the plan is to get them fitted in April. I had two watchers but no bids. Don't want to let them go for lots less then I paid.
Do you mean the only person who would bid at that price would probably be a scammer?

TBH, if a garage only wants around 180 more than a UK garage to fit them, you should just bite the bullet and pay that.
You'll struggle to get the money you want for them, and are already taking a 200 quid loss to sell them. You won't get another set like that, so just have them fitted and be happy you have a nice set of brakes how you want them
