Default C4 to C5 brake ??

I've got a question ?? I have a C5-C4 front brake conversion setup that I was going to put on my 1986 coupe but I'm looking to buy a greenwood hood scoop right now so I can finish getting my car ready for paint, so I'm going to sell the brake set up to buy a greenwood hood scoop. Or if I someone wants to trade their hood scoop for my brake setup I'll do that too. My question is what are these parts worth and what's a good asking price for them? Here's what I have

C5 front calipers (used pair)
The caliper mounting brackets (used pair)
All hardware
Used rotors (pair)
And 84-87 C5-C4 adapter brackets and hardware
Basically everything needed to install C5 front brakes on a 84-87 C4 corvette.
Thanks for your help.

I bet if you moved this to the For Sale thread and marking (FS/Trade) you would get more of the correct people looking.
I would love to buy this off of you, but no money for fun stuff right now. =\

From someone who has an '86 with the C5 brake upgrade (with Hawk pads): you're gonna miss that brake upgrade

Thanks guys, yeah I know the C5 kit will be great on my 86 but I'm just trying to get this cars body ready for paint so I can drive it finally and the hood scoop is my last needed piece to finish the hood off. So I'm willing to trade or sell my brake kit to make this happen

Does your motor sit higher than stock?

Looks and personal taste are unique but in person that scoop is not very well received. Maybe a stock style cowl hood instead?

For me its touch to get visual enhancements that are not as a result of the car going faster.

After I get this scoop I'm going to mold it into the hood and not just leave it setting on top of the hood. After I'm finished my hood will look like a custom hood and not just a add on scoop.

Good deal. I like it when guys take the time to glass them in. No lines = nice. Lines of separation = laziness.
