Message	price point. I recently installed EVO 9 calipers and rotors myself. I bought a used set for $250 shipped, and after buying all the parts needed spent around $725 on the setup. Luckily, I was able to sell my R32/M30Z calipers for $400 shipped. I have seen several pairs sell between $250-450 depending on condition. More information on the setup
