    Its all supply and demand.. I have seen the calipers for from $150-450 a set.

    They seem to get snapped up pretty quickly. Make sure you get the bolts with them and you will need new rotors and pads. I would also put a seal kit through them as well as you just don't know what condition they are actually in on the inside. I have seen calipers that looked OK on the outside, but once you pull them apart its a different story.

    When I did the upgrade, I pulled mine apart and there was quite a bit of gunk in them, but luckily the pistons were fine and all went back together with new seals perfectly.

    Yeah I'll definitely be doing a seal kit when I find some. Thanks for that though.
    You're not wrong about them getting snapped up quickly, saw somebody wrecking one on facebook last night, I got in within 5 minutes of being posted and he said somebody had already claimed them.

    Just the front mate as the rears are the same. Only after 2nd hand and I will be rebuilding them regardless so they don't need to be in great condition
