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.
