Brake caliper refurbs

Post by Kwacky »

Has anyone got any recommendations?

I want to bling up the spare set I've now got.

These came up on a google search

Pm Deano he mentioned a company that would do an exchange service for £175 for all 3 calipers refurbed and powder coated in whatever colour you wanted.

He's suggested the same company I posted.

I'll email them later on in the week.

Kwacky sell the ones you have and buy these brand new OEM calipers for £75 which will work out massively cheaper than refurbing your old ones.

I fancied doing something different and getting them coated as well.

If you sell your old ones for £30 or £50 on ebay then these brand new calipers will have set you back £45-£20 instead of £150 to have some old ones refurbed.

Does it really matter what colour your spare calipers are ? they will be sat in a cupboard anyway won't they ?

This way you would have £100 extra bling money towards a power commander or rear shock this way.
