LOL, yeah earlier this week and well the bidding ended for them at a price of 900 bucks. They were a brand new set of Alcon/Saleen Calipers with brackets and pads on EBay. No rotor or brake lines though. But still I know that person is here somewhere . Oh and they were in Anaheim so I wanted to pick them up. Good steal for whoever won them . Just curious if it was anybody here. What would have you guys bid for them. My max bid was 800 but I would have bid upwards of a thousand or more if I only was near a computer at the time of the ending.

yeah that was probably me. I mean I was the first bidder and kept on bidding on it. I mean I was checking on them at 130 or 2 in the morning. I really wanted them and would have won them...but like I said I wasn't near a computer. I was at the hospital with my sis and her husband. She gave birth a couple days ago. So yeah I was trying to use her phone's internet, but then I had a bad signal, then I went to a library out where she was at, couldn't get online to watch the auction. I actually had to ask someone to cease and assist lol. I didn't have a library card for that particular area. So I said hey...can I use your computer for 2 minutes. I made my bid thinking it would never go that high...and I couldn't exactly wait 7 more minutes for the auction to end so I just bid 800 and left. But yeah if I was home, they would have been mine. Sux for me, but hey I have a beautiful niece and my sis is doing okay. There that is my steam for the day. Oh...question....now would the brembo Turismo's (Saleen's) fit with the Original 94 95 USA Saleen/Speedlines (Flat spoke-saleen on inside spoke-flater looking rim-spokes tapering out instead of in...just like the ones on that 100K S351 on ebay right now? Let me know just curious. If not then I have to go 99Up. Contemplating my next upgrade here.

Yeah I called him on that too. I advised him that they were brembos. But heck yeah I'm bidding on them. And yup, I'm all over it! Question. When you buy the brembo kit...or the Saleen brembo's, are there any mounting brackets like the alcons, and are they different for 94-98 and 99-04 or are they identical. I didn't know if Saleen listed them as 99-04 because of fitment...or because of the vehicle years that they offered the upgrade. I mean if I get them direct from Brembo of course they are going to give me what I need, but in this case, if I find a Saleen/Brembo set, would I have any spindle fitment issues. As of a week ago, I am running the 99-04 rim (25mm-front-offset)...so yeah will see, but I know I am not going to pay over 1K for them, because in that case I would just get them direct brand spanking new and not just new. Who knows how long these have been moved around outside of the packaging. Oh yeah thanks for making my life harder lol by bidding lol. Its okay I like the competition . Go Giants!

I can never understand why a bidder wants to keep bidding to be #1??? It serves no purpose except to jack up the price. Don't BID until you're ready to purchase at the END of the auction people!!

Okay guys, there is another set of "saleen" brakes on ebay. As much as I would like to identify them without the help of more "eyes" on the auction, I just had to get u Saleen guys' advice. Its an ebay auction. I guess you can just type in saleen calipers. It says they are for 99-04 what not...was going to bid on them...but something about them bothers me. They don't say Alcon on them...nor can I positively identify them as brembos. Should be interesting. Thought I'd throw this one out there for you experts to shed some light on.
