Well actually, for $800 for just the fronts I can wait or live w/o them.  
I'm patient to source some G60 calipers and such.  This would likely be 
for my 4kstq project before my Coupe.  I was looking to convert the rears 
to disc, mostly for appearance purposes.  They seem to work fine, as you 
say.
