Does this look legit? And if so can a standard brake line be used?

I've actually been looking at the same item on eBay. If it was some what of a false advertisement I dont think they would have a perfect feedback score. There are alot of different brembo calipers you can use with different line placement.

I offered them below what they are asking, so we will see. If not I will try to piece a kit together.

i havent done a fea on the part but i think i was talking to someone who did. 6061 is kind of weak for that application. The bracket I purchased was made out of 7075 which has a much higher yield stress. 48 MPa vs 95 MPa

Also I believe if u look in their store they have a black set too. With a black adaptor plate and caliper.

i lied the one i purchased was 7050 which is even stronger than 7075. yield strength of 455 Mpa

it should work w/o a longer brake line. my stock line worked fine but just had to flip the line over so the bango fitting was oriented the opposite direction (you'll see what I mean lol). 2009 Scg. Looks like an OK deal- don't forget shipping $$...

Hmm, black version $180 + $25 shipping from Germany is $205, est delivery 2/7-21.

Black bracket from a fairly well known US online seller is $69.95 + black Brembo caliper $120 + $14.87 UPS ground shipping = $204.82. ETA? Dunno, hopefully sooner than 2/7-21.

Would have to a heckuva discount for me to consider purchasing overseas and waiting that long.

YMMV,

Yeah he only came back by lowering the price by $10.00 looks like I will be piecing one together. Thanks for the input guys

Yeah i tried to deal with him before and he kinda an ass with it all. I ended up getting one from a forum member a few days later for 100 something.

Let me be more clear. Do not buy one made of 6061 aluminum.
