Thread: Original Early SWB Vented Rotors and Calipers - Value?

    Original Early SWB Vented Rotors and Calipers - Value?

    I have a set of early SWB Vented rear rotors and matching calipers: Calipers are complete and in very good shape but will require a rebuild I expect; I think the rotors are the correct early SWB type and will need to be turned to remove surface rust - they measure 19.6 mm thick on the wearing surface and have about a .2mm lip (which is well within spec as far as I can tell).

    Here’s a link to some photo’s:

    Looking at recent posts on various forums it seems a fair price for the calipers would be around $600-700; I haven't been able to find any good used rotors advertised, but I've learned that new ones are extremely expensive.

    I'd be grateful if anyone could give me an idea of what a fair price for the calipers and rotors would be as a package?

    Thanks

    Those look like S calipers, so more valuable than the non-S. Valuation is tricky. Personally I would have PMB Performance restore the calipers, then they would have an established value. Similarly with the rotors; clean them up to a state where they are ready to use and they will have an established value. As they stand now it is difficult to evaluate what will be required to bring them to an established value.

    Last set of wide-L calipers I saw sold for $300 but yours are in much better condition. That was a couple of months back on eBay, and was a bit of a bargain considering wide-M fronts were included.
