Seller selling N/R. so it might be a good deal. if you consider to upgarde the brake

 

Wow, what's the catch?

 

^^well its used

seems like a great brake kit

ill be upgrading in the spring so spending money on this now is pretty much useless

however, 6 days later, you can def see this in the 500+...

 

thanks for telling me

 

2grand worth of bling

 

Nice!But there's still 6 days so price will go pretty high.

 

Im bidding on that ****

 

I doubt the fasteners rusted that badly in only 2,500 miles...

 

Thanks for showing us!

 

mistake #1

 

Just because there's only 2500 miles of use doesnt mean they havent been on there for a long time

 

Yea what is he talking about?

My brake rotors look like **** if my car sits for a month!

 

thats true, 2500 miles is new

but how long was it on the car? that coulda been months, maybe even years..

its still a good deal though, i should bid on it

 

huh..if that set went through a track day your basically gonna need new rotors and pads....

how much does a new set cost?? anyone??

 

New pads maybe, but I'd hope that rotors would last more than one HPDE.

 

Then he shouldn't be describing them as "mint" or implying that they've only been on the car a short time...

 

The rotor surface, sure, but how quickly would the fasteners on a 2-piece rotor rust that badly?

There's more than mileage to consider here. If someone was trying to sell a 2,500 mile 1993 FD, would you consider that a "nearly new" car, or a car that's done a lot of sitting and probably has some problems to deal with despite the low mileage? How about how it was used? If that 2,500 miles was all track driving, is that the same as 2,500 miles of commuting or a single 2,500 mile trip to drive the car home from where it was purchased?

Someone buy the brake kit, and good luck to you. Personally, I'd replace the fasteners before using it, though.

 

They are in pretty much mint condition. Mint is a description of the condition they're in, not their age, and they look to be well taken care of. He doesnt advertise anywhere in the ad that they've been on there a short time. In fact, he doesnt mention anywhere how long he's been in possession of those. Probably because they've been on there for quite some time. He just hasnt driven it a lot.

 

Great. Do you feel better after getting that off your chest?

 

I just think you're being nit-picky

 

And I think you should brand new parts when it comes to brakes. I wouldn't cheapout on something so important on a car.

 

you've discovered the jimlab !!!!

 

I think you're making a lot of assumptions, unless you happen to know the guy selling the brakes, or you're selling them yourself.

To me, they appear to have a lot more than 2,500 miles of use, even if the outer surface of the caliper is shiny. However, I don't give a rat ******* **** what you people spend your money on, so if you're not concerned about it, neither am I.

 

They run about 1800 to 2K new. I happen to have a brand new set sitting in my garage. Anyone want to buy them?
