Crap, I didn't want to be the person to rain on any parades, but...
I read on the product description that the $250 is for an individual caliper, so it'd be about $500 for the pair :(

I guess your right...


But I just did a super quick search...

There are other good brands for quality multi piston calipers...

I'm sure that looking around and buying a few sets would bring the price down on everything...

Either way, my point is that we are really one custom bracket away... from having an affordable BBK.

You don't have to throw $2k on one.

The Wilwoods appear to be reasonable in price - how difficult would it be to get these to work properly with our pre-existing brake system?

I hope whatexer comes about from this, it will fit in my 15" Enkei RPF1s.
