    Well on the 1st of May I bought some brembo m4 calipers from a guy in Cyprus for £439, turns out he didn't send them and took 3 weeks to get my money back!

    I still wanted some so did a bit more searching and found some from a dealer in Italy who was selling them in Australian dollars so took a chance and asked for a delivery cost to the UK and got a quote for £30 carriage.

    So I payed Sunday evening and they arrived yesterday and have saved another £30 from the original calipers from Cyprus total paid £410.28 big result

    Sounds like a really good price, is that new or used?

    Do they bolt straight on or need spacers?

    I am certain that you have to remove the spacers before you bolt these on sps170373

    Fake levers, perches, pads, masters = yes

    calipers = don't know of any, maybe, but the nature of the cast mono block would set a challenge to the fraudsters.

    Def genuine would have cost £439 plus postage if I'd paid in pounds
