I have no idea. But when you find out PM me! I would like first right of refusal. I need a set for my 74 project.

I had an NOS set I sold for $1500 a decade ago. I can only imagine they are close to twice that now.

I looked on here for comparison but usually marked sold missing the original ask.so no help.

I will say I spent $3,200 at PMB having mine restored. So a good set that doesn't need restoration should be more than that.
If cores were $500.00 ea. That would put them at at least $5,200.00 for a good set.

I hate that people do that. I've never understood that.

Not pickin' on your for spending the money, Deez (well, sort of! ), but that cost blows my mind! They're fookin' brake calipers; a simple device that has been around for decades. Sometimes the all-around Porsche tax is really off-putting.

It’s the detail of finishing the ripples on the 930 calipers. Run of the mill A calipers are a couple hundred bucks.

I know,I know. I just cringe at the costs, hand over the CC# and not look back.
I tell the wife it's an investment. But I know it's just an investment in my happiness.
