That depends where you get you parts. I paid about $185 for the calipers, including e-brake cables, carriers, hoses and lines; the Passat carriers I got from ebay for about $45 the pair; the ½" scrap aluminum about $20, and I think three adapters came out from that piece, plus the machine shop (I didn't have to pay for that); pads and rotors, you'll have to shop around for those. FYI each Mk4 caliper is something like $300 new... ouch. Hopefully the junkyard didn't know that detail when my cousin and I bought ours. That should give you a rough idea. Oh, and the adapters can be made of steel, should be cheaper than aluminum. Hector
