Setrab makes some high quality stuff, depending on what parts the guy is asking for and the quality of the setrab I would definately trade.

With out photos I can't say 100% but I would bet money the setrab would beat the OEM peice, becauase of the construction methods. Again, without more info I can't say for sure, but I would bet people $20 on it.

The guy want 2 brake calipers I have and will never use (4 pot), and he even wants to throw some cash into the deal (he must really want those calipers)


I will post pics tonight, its used but in good shape

yeah, do it, that looks smaller than the stock on, but I don't know since there isn't any refference in the photo. But a real Setrab for two parts your never going to use is a steal.

Do it.

nm, used common sense and looked at the fittings and its definately smaller than the stock, but I bet it would still cool better.
