Finchy Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi everyone I decided to undertake the simple task of replacing rear pads and discs (simple 1/2 hour job)... with her in the air and brakes taken apart if come across and extremely sized piston (N/S/R) so started the task of freeing this up and one thing lead to another now I need a new caliper ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚ lol... Brembos are fitted so would obviously need to be at least a replacement brembo (poss upgrade time but I'm rather short of funds at the moment so unless it's a steal I doubt it) cheers in advance guys for any help. hopefully can get one on order off someone on here at some point today!!!

modo Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I read somewhere on here someone refurbished them. There's always e-bay as an option too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finchy Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Refurbish would possibly work depending on how fast the turn around would be as its my daily drive haha need to find this users name now and ask the questions.

ZedManTID Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The brake caliper specialists in Nottingham refurbished and sprayed mine. 10/10 for the job and service. Turn around was about 10 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finchy Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Could you maybe give me a price of what that cost u roughly? Pm if you don't want it public! Need to seriously weigh up my options before jumping at the first thing I hear about lol Thanks very much!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 If you need a replacement then you could try a PM to Zmanalex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedManTID Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Definitely worth weighing up your options. I only did this because I picked up the set for nothing. They were such a state! Full rebuild of all four calipers, two helicoiled bleed nipples as they were snapped off by a garage, sprayed in Ferrari Yellow with new decals for a negotiated £465. That was 2 years ago. Follow the link below. They have set pricing for Brembos now. http://www.brakecaliperspecialists.uk/brake-caliper-refurbishment/brembo/ Edited April 24, 2016 by ZedManTID 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Had mine done by the same people, same price as above but with Candy Apple Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 If you need a replacement then you could try a PM to Zmanalex. Nice one Zeus. Gold rear pre owned Brembo calipers are in stock and good to go same/next day. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
