That does seem like a good deal. Used Viper calipers in decent shape seem to start at $300 and go up? Maybe phone them and confirm first?
I am so used to clicking my way through life that calling them hadnt even occured to me lol. I will tomorrow and let you guys know. 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.

Anyway to use those calipers with 13" rotors?
That was the OEM setup. I ran Gen 1 calipers and rotors on my Coronet for awhile.

I should have been more specific.
Are there any kits to run these Gen 1 calipers with 13" rotors.

I sold a kit for about 10 years but finally killed it since sales were very slow.
Yea, I thought that was the only 13" kit for that. I should have bought Tim W's used brake stuff when I had the chance.

I was going to say that's a smoking deal, I had a hard time finding decent used ones at that price....

Just a hint, never make a good deal public! Ask the question but don't tell the source. Someone most likely read your post and thought it was a good deal too. I'm sure they will get more in as their stock changes all the time.
No doubt!
Excuse me, I'd like to spend some more money here and it appears your price is too low.....................
Way to go, whoever did that!
My nomination for thread of the year!
I want to believe this isnt directed at me

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.

I tried to buy those calipers a long time ago. got to checkout page, and got a message that said "this product is not available due to lack of inventory. 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**
