CALICO 130 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 What are they worth and do you need calipers as well or just the carriers discs bolts and spacers Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 11 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) It's the carriers which are worth the money, the calipers are the same between 288 and 312 and are 10 a penny. You just need the carriers, discs and spacers. You can sometimes find the carriers for a good price but they're normally about 80 quid on the forums and 100 quid and over on ebay. Purple Tom on the Corrado forum has a few sets if needed.If you find all the parts individually and are upgrading from 280s then it'll be around 300 quid once you factor in new lines, discs and pads with the longer bolts, spacers and carriers. If you already have 288 brakes you'll probably be able to do that for 200 quid. Edited December 31, 2014 by Sean_Jaymo Link to post Share on other sites
