Dont suppose anyone would have an interest in these ?

Discs, pads and calipers. Full set.

Approx 1500 miles from new. Removed a while back due to AP upgrade, been lying around in the garage since.

useful if you dont intend to upgrade as spares or even if you want to do something as simple as paint your calipers - being off the car means you can do a proper job on them, then swap them over for ones on the car. Guess it'll depend what kind of money you hope to get for them whether someone would want them as spares.

I have a full set to get rid of as well!

Do you think there is a market for large circular paperweights???

its the same with the car in the scrapyard I mentioned at start of the week - it's an 05 model which is meant to have "better" brakes than the original 04 - question is are they "better" enough to warrant the bother of swapping them over or taking them for spares?

The C5 Corvette Brake pads,

fit these calipers. Brake pad part number FCP1553H. These provide an increase of 40% in pad surface area over the stock brake pad which has an identical back plate design and shape.
It's a worthwhile up-grade for people who just want an economical increase in braking performance. Along with Dot 4/600 (Super Dot 4) brake fluid.
