    S197 Front Calipers and 12.5" Rotors

    I have some 8k mile take-offs. Could use a cleaning, but in nice shape! I'm putting a 04 cobra IRS into my car and decided to go with a cobra front set up to keep brakes the same all the way around. Wishing I didn't care about consistency because Cobra calipers sure have gone up in price!

    How does $150 shipped continental US sound?

    Reply here, PM, or email me at savantjk at gmail dot com

    Thanks!

    Allrighty then, sounds good! I am still doing some homework to see what all I need in addition to these parts to convert my 65 drums to disc! I would be interested for sure. Is 150 a good deal for these parts?

    With the weight of the parts and shipping rates that will be a chunk or I'd make a better deal. I included shipping and expect it will probably be in the neighborhood of 20-30 depending on your location... So you'd be getting a good set of brakes for not much over a hundred bucks. Not needing a rebuild, pads, or new rotors.

    Ok man sounds good! Let me know what we can do to get them here? I live in Bend Oregon, where are you?

    Would you like me to contact you via your provided email address for shipping information, and a few other questions I have>?

    Re: S197 Front Calipers and 12.5" Rotors

    Just FYI guys... I have shipped alot of those brakes.  Best way to do it is to put the two rotors in one USPS large flat rate box for about $17 and the two calipers in another one like it for total shipping cost anywhere in USA of about $34.  Even cheaper if you print the postage online.

    They are so heavy that no other shipping method comes close to the price.

    Can't remember, but if you take the cradles and hoses off the calipers you MIGHT be able to get two in a Medium Flat rate box for $12.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
