Default Sorry for the newb question regarding HP2 calipers...
One of the local S4 guys just upgraded to Stoptech BBK and I was debating picking up his old HP2 calipers. I'm wondering if I can get away with just replacing the calipers or will I need to change out the rotors to the S4 rotors as well?

Also, what is a reasonable price that these are going for these days? Don't want to low-ball him...

TIA

Default I've done this.. its calipers (and pads) only.
The rotor is the same size. But to maximize your $$ do it when the next brake job is needed. Then you can upgrade the rotor in quality as well. I've done the ECS kit with slotted rotors and love them..especially in the rain.

Can you upgrade to larger rotors w/out changing calipers? Stronger calipers w/same rotors?
