JCW Brembo Brakes on eBay?

[minifan85]

Hi, im new to these forums, great work guys, im not sure where to post this, so ive done it on a couple of thread. im after a set of JCW calipers, but dont have much to spend, ive just seen a set on eBay, for £10.50 well bidding is there. I cant post links yet, so type in mini brembo calipers. do these look ok? ive heard you are the guys to ask!

[minifan85]

how come this was made into a new thread.........? ok i suppose it would work this way! thanks for moving/making a new thread

Kudos for using the search function, but instead of "piggy-backing" the same question in multiple threads, some dormant for over 5 years and some discussing other JCW parts, it's best to start your own thread.

Now you only have to track one thread for answers to your question

[minifan85]

Thanks for the reply, sorry I normally get shouted out for starting new threads, always get told to use the search function. guess its different over here!

Thanks again, any advice?

im watching these

[Mini Me GB]

Me too - might of been better for you if you hadn't posted about these

[minifan85]

damn yea, scratch that then, those dont exist. haha! how much do you think they will go for as its very low at the moment

Putting quality JCW bits on flea bay like that is pretty much like leaving a juicy steak in a lion pen.

Saying that bargains can be had, because you can always try to snipe them at the last minute. The going price seems to be around the £200-300 mark for the last few sets, although those didn't have the rear calipers with them.

You're also going to need to get discs for them, so that's £140ish added to the bill and then off course R56 lines to fit onto them unless you already have an R56.

Good luck!

Im watching these too but i bet they go for a fair few quid and when you add brake loines and discs on there it wont be much cheaper than £650 which is what i can get them for

[minifan85]

yea true, im watching these as well, ill keep a close eye on them. ive got an R56 so no problem with the brake pipes, see how much they get to

[minifan85]

if you see somthing you think is a bargain dont advertise it! i would expect them to get quite a few bids, many of them from people in this thread!

[minifan85]

Just thought id share a bargin, doubt these will come up again, we should do a pakt, saying whos going to buy it and then not outbid the others

[crofty136]

well i won't be bidding, i'm happy enough with my brakes for the min, but this thread caught my eye cos i like a bargain!

Welcome to the forum

Hey, thanks for the tip off!
No point bidding yet though, they will be won in the last minutes of the auction.

You're very quick to find them, posting this thread only 50 minutes after the auction was listed Trying a bit of viral marketing maybe?
