What has everyone paid for these? I've just acquired a pair and want to know if I've overpaid or not.  Also considering selling on as I can't afford Ash's kit to go with it really. Had hoped to run with 406 V6 calipers like RichW initially but doesn't appear to be recommended. Darren |

They go for between 200-300 for a set on the cliosport site mate so you may have just had a slight bumming this time! |

There's some reasonable irony in not being able to afford the brake kit because you spent all your money on the calipers  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

So I wasn't robbed, I just seemed to have paid top whack? Like I said, on eBay they are fetching £200 each.buzzbrightyear wrote: I'll swap you for a gti6 setup that's recently refurbed and powder coated silver, with braided hoses and newish grooved discs and newish ferrodo ds2500 pads I could be interested in this. I'm still arranging a courier so will let you know condition when they arrive. |

Let me know mate, I'll defiantly swap, but if there in a mess I might need some persuasion  if you want to see mine they are featured in my project thread somewhere. I'll even throw in a set of 200 mile use mintex road pads aswell as the 3k mile ferrodo ds2500's ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

I probably did pay a little over the top for mine but at the time the prices seemed to be going up. After missing out on two used sets for £200+ that I would've had to have overhauled because there was no way they were going on the car unless I knew they were 100% right, so when a brand new set came up I just paid the £300 asking price and had done with it.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

For a new set I think that's fair enough Jim, will probably end up costing me about the same to get mine to that standard________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

It's safe to say that it comes down to your luck on the day. Somebody somewhere will always get a better deal but you can wait a lifetime for the perfect deal and still never get it.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
