about 1200 - 1500 for recon ones. Worth it IMO. All up it cost me about 1200 to buy a SH set of metro hubs and then rebuild them.... Not worth the dramas. The mini shops generally sell you a kit with "everything" that you need. |

ABSOLUTELY worth it, IMHO. $1500 should buy you a good reco setup, between there and $2000 for brand new. If you've got a little extra to spend, consider Mini Spares (UK) 4-piston alloy calipers, I have them on my car and they are sensational. Beware though, they're a tight fit and may not clear your wheels (unless you have e.g. ROH Contessa's, which are fine). The confidence that a disk-brake front end gives you is easily worth the $$. |

you should be able to get a brand new setup complete with ball joints, bearings and CV's around the $1600 mark - a lot of people have found buying and rebuilding a 2nd hand set to cost them more than that |

$1499 starting price... bargain at that price but you're likely to spend more. |
