[urq] Brake Upgrades

[John Karasaki]

All,

I have the Wilwood setup I purchased off Audifans a couple of years 
back.  It is the kit I believe Ron's Parts in Canada was selling at one 
time.  They are designed to work under 15" wheels, especially the 
Fuchs.  As I don't plan on owning another urq any time soon (no money), I 
might as well sell the kit.

The kit has the used calipers and mounting brackets, a bunch of used track 
brake pads with some life left, and a set of new rotors.

I'd sell the calipers and brackets with a bunch of used racing brake pads 
for $350 plus shipping.  I have a couple of sets of rotors for this 
kit.  One set is used and one set is new.  Add $100 to the price for the 
new rotors and $50 to the price for the used rotors.

The rotors are heavy to ship; the calipers, brackets and pads are fairly light.

Just to let you know, last fall, Tony Lum and John Stone asked me about 
this kit.  Either I flaked out, or otherwise didn't pursue them enough, but 
I still have the kit!  The first to reply that they definitely want it, and 
pays me, gets it.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

John
