Hopefully you're not talking about just upgrading the rears alone? Asking for trouble if so, unless you're going to try to use the set up front? Also, the key will be whether the carriers will bolt right up or not. Good price for the parts, yes, but you should definitely look into what else it'll take to make it work properly.

Just re-read your post again. Are you saying the guy is selling you the complete set of calipers, but only has the rotors for the rear?
If so, that's good news, but still need to check on carrier mounting.
