1LE brakes value

Hello, I'm thinking of upgrading my front brakes to the GenV brakes.


My question is, are complete 1LE brake setups still worth anything? I know they used to command a premium price, but since companies like bigbrakeupgrade have made it so affordable to get bigger stuff are people still interested in these?


I'm in Germany and there's a pretty healthy 3rd gen community here so I'm sure I could sell them pretty easily, but not sure what kind of price range.


Thanks, Ken

I bought complete ILE front spindle assemblies for $300 about a year ago. However, all of the wear items needed to be replaced, so basically I was buying the 1LE spindles. I did get $100 each for the caliper cores.

Thanks for the reply gheatly!


That seems like a pretty great deal. I was thinking they would still get close to or more than what the LS car kits go for. These only have 45k miles on them so everything is still in excellent condition. I might throw them up on the F-body forum in for Europe and see what kind of response they get. Since the Germans are so strict with modifications, any kind of factory upgrade is somewhat coveted.


Thanks, Ken
