I found the going price for used rotors is around $4.5-5.5k for a set. Can't find any pricing on the calipers?

You should just put a price on it and see if there are any takers...

If you're seriously considering doing this then you should attempt to sell the PCCB's first. I have them on my car (they were built on the car from the factory) and have had people ask to buy them. Anyone looking on the market for street used PCCB's most likely know EXACTLY what they're looking for and will scrutinize every little tiny thing.

It's not as easy as "wrap em up and sell em when you're ready" . . . just FYI. And in MY opinion, keep em!! The calipers are great, Pads are relatively inexpensive and you'll never need rotors unless you do some SERIOUS track work/braking.

Thanks for the advice, once the lead time on Stoptechs comes back down I'll pull these off, weight them, and put them up for sale!

i checked out pricing for a 6 piston 15" brembo gt front kit. they were $4200.

for that kind of money a stoptech trophy kit might as well be had front and rear

quick hijack thread question if thats ok -

my c2s i feel has adequate stopping power with the 4 pistons although there is a huge lack of brake modulation/feeling through the pedal that i felt with a 6 piston setup.

could this be based on the pads i am using or purely the caliper being 4 pot?
