They seem to have a slightly different interpretation of what affordable means than I do. :wink:

Here's the link: (hope this works)
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/201585499873

It looks fantastic. Is it worth $1900? I'd say yes. It screams quality. But that costs more than what was paid for both my E24s. :shock:

Very nice kit and probably well worth it. I think my setup is probably 90% as good however, and didn't even cost me 500 bucks with all new parts. I have Nissan 300zx TT front calipers and 745i front rotors. I had to machine a bracket but that was easy. I know some may think it's blasphemous to put Sumitomo calipers on a German car, but I just can't stomach $2000-3000 for front brakes on a car I paid $1500 for.

It's a little unclear whAt u get.
1900 for calipers /rotors/ adapters/ front and rear is probably not a bad deal. If it's for calipers only well it's not so sweet.

Yeah, the eBay listing is very unclear. It says fronts only and that rears will be available later at more cost. It also shows two different styles of Brembo caliper, BMW and Porsche.

I have E34 540 brakes, bolt right on E28 or E24. Get lucky at the pull your part. Even the regular E34 brakes are larger diameter with larger rear pads.
