Hi- I have put together another of my Big Brake Kits...: This will fit all Opels, 68-75. Manta/Ascona, Kadett and GT... The original front rotors were 9.4 or 9.6" (75 only), my kit is 10.25" in diameter, Original thickness was 11mm (7/16") or 12.5mm (1/2") thick (75 only), my kit uses 1" thick rotors. Originals were solid rotors, my kit uses Vented! rotors. The brake calipers have 52mm pistons, the originals were 48mm. The difference in braking power, modulation, and durability is real. You will be impressed! The kit includes New Bendix Semi-Metallic Brake Pads, New Wagner Brake Hoses, 2 Raybestos Remanufactured 52mm Brake Calipers, and 2 good, Used!, in-spec Brake Rotors. Ideally your rear brakes should be overhauled or in good! operating condition to compliment the improved front brakes. BTW- you need 14 or 15" Rims. Some 13" rims will clear the calipers, but it varies with the rim....Call me with questions! The cost is $300 for the whole kit, plus UPS/FedEx/USPS Shipping to you. Ernie 561-371-9246
Do you have any pictures of what the calipers and rotors look like?

Hi Ernie, just to clarify since it isn't specified, if these are new parts (rotors and calipers), I will take it.

Hi. As I stated in the ad, the rotors are used. They are straight and in-spec- not worn. the calipers are Ate, remanufactured by Raybestos. The brake hoses and brake pads are new.

Hi Joel- I priced the shipping of the brake kit to CA- 2 boxes, roughly 50 lbs. USPS is the least expensive way to ship them: $48.86. I can ship it as soon as you're ready. And I can take your Credit Card, not really set up with PayPal... Let me know? Thanks! Ernie

Finished the install.....went fine...every bit as good as the $800 kit...big ventilated rotors and raybestos rebuilt calipers...I don't like the stock brake hoses that came with the kit so I am replacing the hoses with lines that have a better angle to the caliper. I did a few panic stops and wow does that car stand on it's nose..great improvement.
