Need to make a quick decision. Bought a used Wilwood 6 piston front set up and a reg. rear wilwood brakes with bracket set up for my camaro on Ebay. Spent 550.00 with shipping. He threw in the spindles also. Even though he was driving on them before the WRECK, the local Porterfield race rep said I should replace all rotors. The seller said he had about 10K of back East driving on the setup. He said the calipers worked fine.
Looking at the cost of replacing the rotors. 900.00 and still unsure of the calipers. Again he did say they worked fine?
He has offered to send my money back less the shipping 160.00 for both ways.

What would you guys do. Do I send all of it back and eat the 160.00 or is it still good enought setup to replace the rotors and hope the best on the caliper. I could alway rebuilt them. Does anyone know if those caliper have issues with 10K and rebuilds?

I know a lot of questions. But the guy does sound like a decent guy and I do not want to string him along one way or the other.
Any quick help/advise would be appreicated.

Note: These brakes were to upgrade a 94 camaro ex SCCA AS car that I was planning to do some HPDE and maybe an open road race car/Silver state 160 MPH car.
