Hello guys, Im kinda in a tough spot right now, there is another member on this forum selling some ls1 brackets and calipers for my g-body for $130 bucks shipped, I do not know yet if it is the fronts and the backs. Well I found another post on another site selling front and back calipers,brackets and lines with decent pads and drilled and slotted rotors for $300 to my door, is $300 a good price to jump on them, I havnt been looking at prices yet so I dont know a good deal yet when one comes my way but I know that eventually I will require these for my build and would rather not pay a crazy price for this set up down the road.Thanks for any insight you guys might have.

What brand of pads and rotors? Are they used?
For both front AND rear shipped, that's not a bad price if the pads and rotors are new/like new.
I paid $70 shipped for front LS1 calipers/brackets, and new rotors and pads (Stoptech) cost me another $180 or so shipped.

The pads and rotors are used, but they look to be in decent shape, the pads are not that big of a deal, they are fairly cheap to buy new but the rotors are a bit more pricey and if i can save a few hundred bucks in the short term that would help alot. Like I said I just started looking at prices of stuff and Im not very educated on what a good deal is, looks like Ill jump on the $300 deal, thanks for the help.

Dave, did that price include the bracket to adapt the caliper to the gbody spindle?

No, that was for the calipers and pad brackets. Realized that I wasn't clear about that.
I ended up buying a set of adapter brackets from a guy on one of the S10 forums. He sells them for $30 shipped, which is a pretty good deal considering the cost of the FlynBye brackets.
