THATGUYCRUZ Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 OK, Im in the market for a brake set up. Im close to pulling the trigger on DentGuy's brake kit he has for sale. But I stopped by a buddys shop today to ask some brake questions and he has a brembo 8 piston caliper/rotar front kit for a Thousand Dollars. He said it came off a 01 Cadillac Escalade. They are red, and he had the hub area I guess you would call it or the center of the rotar powder coated red also. Do you guys knows if this is a deal or even worth the money? I tried googling 8 piston caliper and came up empty handed. He said they would fit my truck. Any input guys?????? How much would you guys think a rear brembo kit would cost so I would be all matching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THATGUYCRUZ Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 He said I need pads and he said he thinks they were around $300 and they have been turned once. Will they bolt right up or do I need brackets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 They should come whit brackets. Last i heard was the rear brembo brakes where discontinued due to lack of intrest/sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
