[Mk2] [Turbo] Caliper refurb

[BlackpoolMR2]

Can anyone recommend a company to refurb a set of calipers for a Rev3 turbo at a decent price??

[MR2 Rich]

Most people on here seem to use carfactorsuk on eBay or biggred

Big red did a top job on mine

[BlackpoolMR2]

How much did it set you back? I'm looking at getting all 4 done.

[aj.extreme]

£355 that included a full refurb on all 4 calipers, polymer coated, carriers also stripped and polymer coated

Done a great job

[BlackpoolMR2]

They look like a top job. I sent them an email hopefully I'll get a reply soon.

[aj.extreme]

You get a discount on having all 4done think it was 10% so be sure to ask

That's really smart what colours can they be done in?

[aj.extreme]

Off top of my head red, black, blue, yellow but check their website for full colour listing

They also offer a cheaper electroplating service which comes in silver or gold, much like an oem finish

I also would like a new full set of calipers.

Never used big red, we should try get some kind of discount.

I did chat to the guys down there about group discount and they said it would be something they could do for a large enough order, at the time I had mine done no one else was interested. It's local to me and they have been there for years and the unit is smart and the staff are great, that price I paid did not include postage forgot about that!!??

On the bay you can get rebuilt front calipers for £59 and rears for £70 so £258 for 4. Then get £60 back on your old calipers so £202 all in with money left for paint and some brake hoses.

Am I missing something?

Post a link and we'll have a look.

I'm gonna guess you have to pay the £60 per caliper up front then reclaim it back when you send in your old calipers.

deposit on old caliper return is always the same - even at eurocarparts

[nickg07]

Factor in pnp fif posting the old calipers back:/

Got mine from brakes international. Paid a bit more true but no issues yet.

[Herts66]

nick - how much are brakes international?

[dazzz]

£355 off the top of my head for full set.

I work in Rochdale so I was gonna pop in soon and see if its a proper set up or a gypo outfit

[Herts66]

They were reviewed last feb by Baker and reccomended so sounds genuine. Link below
