Should I buy these 300zx brakes?

Whats going on fellow members. Well I know you guys probably saw the 300zx brake setup for sale in the parts for sale forum. I was thinking about getting them but I wanted to know everybodies opinion on the whether I should get them. Well let me give all the facts.

1) front 300zx calipers from 93 car. They are cast iron not aluminum and have about 12,000 miles on them with installed new porterfield pads.
the calipers were rebuilt by professionals when I got them.
They are painted black.

2) Front gas slotted and heat treated rotors

3) front SS brake lines

4) Rear OEM
matching brembo gas slotted rotors to match fronts.

5) I talked to him and the calipers are milled already. I can bolt the brakes as soon as I receive them.

6) I have to hsave the steering knuckles I think so the wheels can turn all the way.

7) Jeff already told me he would charge $180 for the whole install.

8) Whole setup cost $450.00 plus S&H.

Also: I was considering just waiting for the Maximadriver.com Big Brake Kit to come out. Its gong to have a good price of $1000. Includes the 12.1" rotors , SS brake lines, and Wilwood 4 piston calipers.

If I forgot something just ask.

So what do you guys think. Hollaback.

Well for the winter I'm running 2002 se rims but I plan to get 18" for the spring. Also I just had my brakes done about a year ago so I'm thinking the brakes will be good up till about the time I would want to replace them. Holla.
