F body brake setup

[SgtMarshal]

I'm looking for an F body brake setup, need everything for the conversion. local junkyards dont have anything, and cant spend much, money is tight right now.

[GR8racingfool]

I have two sets of F-Body brakes. I was going to powder coat them, and rebuild them, and drill the bracket for the w-body bolts and sell them.

Interested in the stock how they sit now form? or the rebuilt form?

[SgtMarshal]

what would the prices be for each?

[GR8racingfool]

well, make me an offer on the as is set(s)

powdercoated, rebuilt, & modified I'd let go for $300.00/set.

These are the ones I redid on my GTP back in 2002/2003

I can do 75 shipped for the unbuilt set

I bought them from a seller on ebay years ago. I don't recall his name. He sold all kinds of wheels. You can't find them any more, because they are discontinued.

shipped these are in your range of 75.

how much would you let them go for?

Dude, rebuilt calipers on Rockauto go for $60+ each... No powder coat. You know the rules... You gotta PAY if you wann play, lol

Calipers, rotors you will need too, new pads, and might as well do stainless lines as well, it adds up. You are better off saving up and then doing it right, than to do it half-ass... Just my $.02

[Scottydoggs]

and they go for 50 a pair on ebay used. rebuild kits cost next to nothing.

cant blame a guy for trying to pick up parts on the cheap. for all you know he's buying the parts over time.

[CrazyGuy03]

Just so you know these calipers do warp or something else that causes them to wear unevenly . I have documented this on RGS forum and others had same issues.
Brand new rotors and pads and I was only getting contact on the top half of the rotor. This was a caliper I replaced a few months back due to snapping off a bleeder installing stainless braided lines. . I got it from the junkyard. Tossed old pads on and went on my way. Never noticed until I re did my brakes in the spring with all new pads and rotors.
The other side did the same but not as much.
i went to advsnce auto , ordered 2 new calipers and used codes making them dirt cheap. Guess what. Worked flawlessly.
Aluminum calipers never needed powdercoat as much as the cast iron ones did. Rattle can and go. Cast iron- rusts through eventually

[GR8racingfool]

Just buy the ones off ebay. Its buy it now, so you don't have to worry about anyone outbidding you. I'm not letting mine go that cheap. I'm not doggin on buying parts on the cheap. I'm not going to give mine away though.

I wasn't ragging on doing it on the cheap, just making note that sometimes ppl have unrealistic expectations of what is involved to do a mod correctly.

I like Miyagi's saying...
It's like chicken crossing the road, you stay, or you go...
But you go half way...

Squish!!!!

lolz

[SgtMarshal]

I understand you dont want to let them walk away. I've sold stuff on here too when people tossed out numbers that were too low, but I still didn't let it go for as cheap as they wanted it. how much would you have to have to let them go? do you do the powder coating yourself or take it to a shop?

[GR8racingfool]

I take them to a shop, I have the pros do them. Seen the "at home" jobs, and have yet to be impressed with those. lol Been using the same company since 1998.

Just buy the ones off ebay, mine won't sell that cheap.

Marshall, let me look in the garage this week. I've got an old set somewhere that I don't have a problem letting go cheap if I can find them.
Should be brackets and all, and you can rebuild them on your dime.
