Brake caliper rebuilds

I have had a set of Brembo Porsche calipers kicking around my workshop for a while.

Following a long search I found a company who offer to rebuild calipers.

Better still they could supply the seals required for me to rebuild them!

I set about striping down the 4 pots and then dropped them into my local powder coaters.

When they returned looking like new I attempted to fit the new seals! following the destruction of many seals I entrusted the work to a local firm wwwbiggred.co.uk who turned the job around in 24 hours and for a fantastic price!

They are now on the car and look and work fantastic! So if anyone is in need of any caliper coatings or full rebuilds then I cannot recommend them enough!

Have a look at their site Biggred brake calipers for Saxo, Punto, Fiesta, Nova, Astra, 106, 206, Mini, BMW and more....

Turns out they are just down the road from my place of work. I fancy getting the rear calipers done to match my fronts. Their stuff looks pretty good quality to me.

Thats good to know, My Brembo's are on their way, so may do the backs too to match.

Any ideas on prices.
