Brake Caliper Refurbishment
 
Hi Guys,

I would like to refurbish my Gold Brembo calipers (MY 2005): Sand Blast, powder coat, new seals, new bolts...

Do you know a good company that could do that?

Depends what orbit you’re in? :D
What part of the country are you in bud. Might help narrow it down

UK, Silverstone

I think Godspeed refurb calipers.

Had mine done at Godspeed and come back looking as good as new:thumb:

Make sure that the refurb is for YOUR calipers, not an exchange. Otherwise it's the luck of the draw what you will get back; I got back calipers that were really old with heavy pitting, when mine had no corrosion at all.

Thanks guys,

Asked a quote from godspeed.

I did get one from BCS automotive, which seems a very good company.
They redo powder coating in any genuine color, which I want.

Another vote for Godspeed. I think they do stainless pistons too, which means no more rusty sticking pistons.

Yes we can do them , it's £125 per caliper inc vat , turnaround time 3-4 days at the moment
Cheers Ian

I also called them on Friday, they sent me an email with a picture of a caliper painted in a matching Subaru colour, it wasn't even close nor was the Brembo decal that they paint on.

Not £575 in my book.

And are you saying your quote was 575gbp?

I think I got my quote wrong... only asked for repainting... :wonder:

Ok, looks like a different gold but it could be the picture... white balance etc...

What's wrong with the decal?

Just had mine done here- http://www.custom-brake-calipers.co.uk/
Had them done in red with white decals and rebuilt with new seals and they look absolutely amazing. Quote was cheaper than other outfits as well.

I'll upload a picture tommorow
