No idea, depends on if it all works I guess, but as for the rears? Forget
looking for used and get new/reconditioned ones. Mine are the fourth set,
and all the used ones I had sooner or later displayed the usual non-working
Ebrake, not so bad unless you have it stick in the "on" position, or
actually want one that works. I'm kind of a fan of new brake parts, or as
near new as possible, carriers and such, sure, not an issue. Mind you,
that's a big price difference...And make sure your wheels will clear the
calipers.
