    Includes the master, hoses, proportioning valve. Don't know what the reserve is, but they are really nice ones. I've sold the rust coated, as pulled from the junkyard, spindle pairs for $250. And then you need to buy everything else. If you needed them, I'd say in the $600 range would be fair for what is all there ......... JMHO

    :yup:

    I just noticed that the rotor is painted, that is generally not good right?

    A dusting of paint is a good idea if the brakes are going to sit around. I've done it many times. The pads clean it off real quick or you can use thinners and clean before install.
    Thats a nice set of brakes. By the time you buy good calipers,rotors,pads,hoses and a good master 5 or 600 isnt bad.

    My cost, calipers-27 each
    hoses-18 each
    pads-45
    master-new-90
    Thats 225 trade price for quality parts without having to buy rotors and used parts since they came with the car. Mine dont look anything like his though. I just cleaned it up and painted it all black.
