That's an '87 you're looking at. The production date was 8/86, and it had an S4 rear bumper. The ECUs are down by the central electric panel, not that thing you picked up with blaupunkt written on it. Those rotors are trash. You can buy 4 brand new rotors for that price. $125 per caliper is reasonable. The only way I'd pay almost $1000 for it is if he threw in the complete suspension as well (i.e. upper and lower control arms from all four corners, hubs, spindles, and hub carriers).

Damn! Not meaning to hijack... but 3 Strosek cars is a collection unto itself!

Maybe you need to start a Strosek thread so we can check out those beauties!

Now, back to the brake debate...
