Brembo GT-R big brake kit (like new) $16k retail

shrimp_chips · 09-23-2016, 10:31 PM

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone is interested in a Brembo GTR big-brake-kit? I bought these recently, but the E90 I purchased came with Stoptechs, so I might just keep those, and put the Brembo set up for sale.

380 F/R
It is like new with only 200 miles. $7200 until I install the kit!

If I didn't already have big brakes right now, I would probably be one of many people already lowballing you on these XD. GLWS

Oh dear lord--why are you so close?!

If I put these on, I'll be asking only $3700 for the Stoptech Trophy F/R kit. So let me know, it'll be swapped next weekend.

post up pics of those stoptechs. last pics I saw the rotors had heat cracks.

I'll post some when I get the car back. But those 'cracks' always show up after a few heat cycles.

Essex brakes guy-
"These cracks are a biproduct of the disc casting process. When the disc cools after casting, the outside of the disc cools faster than the inside, causing variations in hardness. Therefore, the outside of the disc is slightly more porous than the material underneath. When the disc face heats up under track conditions it tends to shrink the iron on the face slightly causing those small hairline cracks....sometimes called hazing.

It is perfectly normal and safe. You just need to make sure there are no cracks reaching the disc edge or the mounting holes. Hope this helps."
