mr.meshie Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 heres the deal: im surfing craigslist like i always do and come across a guy selling toyota calipers for $50 (for both). i think "sweet, great deal". email him and ask to make sure they were the calipers that were direct bolt on with no spacers required. he says they are. i just happened to have a buddy up by where the guy lived at the time and he said he would pick them up for me. i get home and look at it and thought it looked like the vented rotor calipers. check the stamping and sure enough "S13WB" right on the side. so instead of a $50+ 4 piston upgrade, im looking at $300+ for upgrading the rotors and getting a spacer and a master cylinder. partly my fault for not doing it myself, but i HATE being lied to. and although its not terribly expensive, i hadn't planned on spending that much. here's where im stuck: do i cough up the extra dough and do a big ass upgrade (which would postpone my suspension upgrade for a LONG time) or do i try and sell/trade for the proper S12's for the direct swap?

WizardBlack Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 IMHO, don't waste your time with the non-vented setup. You got the right stuff. If you don't have the money right now, just sit on the calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
