Selling my Brembo Gran Turismo Big Brake Kit (Red)

I have used them for about 30k miles now. They are on my 04 Mini S. Born 3/04 in case you are wondering. Great condition. They are still on my vehicle so I will need stock brake setup in the deal. I am asking $1500 for the kit. E-mail me or PM me if you are interested. This is a great performance and LOOK upgrade!!!

Here are the specs:

The Brembo Gran Turismo Big Brake System is dedicated to the most demanding MINI Cooper or MINI Cooper S owner. Designed to improve brake performance with increased stopping power, virtually eliminates brake fade, with less weight than factory setup. Benefits include:
* Proven on-track performance;
* Disperses gasses, cleans pads for better “bite”;
* Reduces “unsprung weight” for better handling;
* Provides maximum braking force without the flex of sliding callipers;
* Reduces heat-related stress, increases brake performance and pedal feel;
The Big Brake System consists of a two-piece 320 x 28mm vented and cross-drilled racing rotor with a 4 piston high performance caliper. The 2-piece rotor system employs an aluminum hat creating a 'floating disc" which reduces heat related stress and improves brake performance and pedal feel of your MINI Cooper. Pads are street / track pads suitable for street or occasional light / moderate track duty.
The kit includes all hardware to convert the front brakes, available in black, red, or silver calipers for both the MINI Cooper and the MINI Cooper S.
Slotted rotors can be substituted in place of the drilled rotors. Additional track pads available upon request.
Proper 'Bed-In' procedure must be followed for proper brake performance. Minimum 17 inch aftermarket wheels with adequate caliper clearance required.

The price is just too much for a used kit, the only thing reusable on the kit is the calipers and the brackets, a set of rotors will cost $800, the hardware for attaching the rotors to the hat cost $130, and pads will run about $280, thats $1210 plus the $1500 that makes it a cool $2710, a new kit with every thing about $2100

The only thing that you would possibly need are pads... Seriously. everything else is in excellent condition.

dkstone brings up a good point about the replacement parts. FWIW its only a great price to the guy/gal with the money in hand. Everybody keeps saying it, but no ones stepping forward.
