I thought it was only a rebuild svc for those who have existing calipers but i cant find anything that says so. I was considering dr diff adapter kit for gen 1 viper calipers on 11.75 rotors. Is the rock auto deal too good to be true? 8003948-Screenshot_2014-01-19-14-07-46.png (57 downloads)

Not sure what ill end up with as im considering a few options. AR engineering also makes adapter kits for 2 different wilwood calipers and i wouldnt have to ditch my A body disc knuckles or 1" unicast rotors.

I didn't read it that way. It seemed to me to be a suggestion to call and verify the availability and confirm that it wasn't a rebuild service.

Yes i see your point, their stock levels do appear to change. That deal could easily conme along again. Believe me if i was that hot for them id have bought them immediately. Worst case they would have said sorry this really is a rebuild svc or id end up with calipers that i could resell prob for what i paid. I posted this thinking i may go for them and if not someone else in this section could benefit.

Please purchase rebuild service to have your cores rebuilt and returned to you" Not sure why they even list it as an option to buy outright, if they have no core inventory to sell. Photobucket sucks

If anyone knows of an affordable set, let me know. My Build thread: Let the hemi swap begin! 1968 wanna be pro touring whatchamacallit with some fancy stuff and a new roof skin.
