Probably depends what they fit to some degree, are they proper RRS Brembos so could be fitted to a D3??? If offered as such make sure they have the mass damper square blocks bolted top and bottom of each caliper.
To fit them to a D3 you also require the backplates, discs and pads (pads are £100 a set...). I've seen retail on the OEM Brembo RRS calipers at £150 each but the true value depends on the degree of desperation/indifference of buyer and seller as always.
The same size basic caliper often comes up on ebay as it fits the RS Escort I believe - but it doesn't have the damper blocks and the lack of these will in my experience cause low road speed pad squeal unacceptable in a road application.Cheers
Agree with Simon above. Make sure you get all the bits.

I doubt they (a dealers) would fit anything that they did not supply,
I am sure someone on here could assist you in fitting them.

If I walked into my local dealer, would they fit them? How much?

The problem you will probably hit at a dealer is that the Brembos aren't fitted as std to any D3 variant - most parts-swapping dealer staff would probably decline at that point.
JE will fit them for you as will several of the other LR specialist outfits around the country. Full mod is to also fit the Petrol rear discs and caliper brackets to bring the full mechanical system up to RRS Supercharged spec.Cheers
it would be difficult for a dealer to commit to replacing these for you as they are non standard to a D3.If anything were to happen then all hell would be released.
you know they fit, i know they fit, they know they fit but foe a dealer the risk is too highTLO has left the building.......
