S Brake Kit cost?
So it looks like I am going to get the Brembo carbon ceramic kit to replace the brakes on my 2019 Targa 4 GTS with about 900 miles. I will have no need for the stock S brakes (rotors, Red calipers, etc.) so what would a fair price be for me to sell them? I have no clue as to what it would cost for someone to update the brakes on their base car to these but I just want to get a fair price - thoughts?

I'd say, look up the current prices on the Sunset website, and charge 1/2 that price for sale on RL.

The reason for the change is likely to avoid the brake dust. I'm also interested in hearing about the Brembo option ! If I had kept my C2S, I would have changed out the brakes just to avoid the squeeking ! My dealer said its common and typical to have the "noise" with S brakes …

I should have ordered them on my car by my SA talked me out of them, and there are mixed opinions here in the forum. I like the Yellow calipers and I plan to keep the car so not having to worry about brakes would be nice, and no brake dust as well. I have back problems and my wife is getting sick of helping me clean them, and I hate getting my hands dirty as well.
Based on the Suncoast prices I think that $2500 shipped for everything is fair, based on LexVan's advice and I will post an ad soon.

My S is completely silent.
