do they actually do offical toyota calipers.?

"Official Toyota calipers"? As in new calipers? Yep, about £400 each from your friendle local dealer.

Reconditioned calipers are between £80 and £120, depending on caliper.

Hi Peter, do you still do reconditioned calipers, would prefer to buy from someone on the forum if possible? The car is a 95 Rev 3 MR2 GT Turbo.

Yes, they refurb any caliper. The picture shown is just for reference. They'll even refurb a specific set you send back, which is what they did for me. Fronts will cost you, after sending your ones back, £100 a pair, rears 120.

sorry to hijack but is it ok to replace one rear caliper only or is it best to do both at the same time?

This was the quote I received at the time (Polymer coated, prices per pair):

Front £169
Rear £179
Carriers £30
7/10 days turn around
 
P&P £16
 
When sending all 4 calipers in at the same time you will receive a 10% discount.

All MKII calipers are made by AISN not toyota, any refurb you get will be the same.
