$225 for used calipers.. 'JDM' rip off

[SmithSR]

Parts stores can get you Remanufactured, loaded with new pads, TT Z32 front calipers for $118 (+/- a few $)each. You have to know who the right guy is at the store, so he knows who to call to get you the calipers.

DON'T LET ME FIND YOU PEOPLE BIDDING ON USED, NON-REMAN, NO PADS, NO LINES(sometimes included on ebay deals, but not this guy's) CALIPERS FROM EBAY!!!!!

so what about the kit from heavy throttle for 2 26mm calipers with new rotors, lines, and pads is that a good deal?

edit: wow totally thought you were talking about price for each...

im done now

[SmithSR]

$118 each is what we sell em for. Reman loaded with pads and 3 yr / 25K mile parts and labor warranty when we install them.

Carry out price is $236 for two TT calipers.

But this guy wants bidders for his used in need of a reman calipers, all titled under "JDM"

I am beginning to hate the "JDM" market. It's a joke now.

[nismofly]

tell me about it

can you guys ship those cross country? lol

also what pads do you put in them?

[Exar-Kun]

Yeah, good call. Goto a Z junkyard..althought its very ahrd to find the 30mm alluminum ones now, as everyone wants them for brake conversions :/

Don't pay higher prices just for the JDM tag line..

there arent any around me, ive checked

i need to order some...and i dont have an autozone to go to either

pep boys anyone? this is why i asked smith if his shop can ship

[SmithSR]

No we don't ship, but the parts remanufacturer our company uses for calipers is called ARI.

Find a parts house that can order from ARI. They have 30mm calipers up the wazzuu

[Jookmasta]

im assuming that ARI would also carry the 26mm ones also?

[SmithSR]

Yes the 26mm is even more readily available than 30mm.

[chmercer]

why does everyone love z32 brakes. like 9 times out of 10 the person who puts them on is somone whos never faded their brakes, has no concept of brake balance, and wants somthing to fill up their wheels. hooray for oversized brakes and 5 dollar tires. the only thing that happens is people lock up their cars when it rains and pretend like their cars stop faster. i cant stand that ****.

[AZhitman]

Spend your $ on the BEST tires you can afford, THEN look into brakes.

I, too, have gotten frustrated with the whole Z-brake ridiculousness.

I found my 30mm aluminum set, fully rebuilt, for under $250 WITH rotors.
