We are seeing more and more Gold Sti calipers to recondition now , so thought I would start a thread for these.

As the calipers and pistons are anodised aluminium they don't have the same problems the Cast steel Subaru 4 pot calipers have with rusting sticking pistons , as yet we haven't had to replace any pistons in these calipers to date.

They do have problems with them , namely snapped bolts or bleed nipples and damaged threads , all of which we can fix with helicoils. When you remove your calipers , you can see for yourself if any threads need repairing so you know exactly what needs doing

Most send them in for a repaint , which we can do any colour you want , including the original gold metallic , and we also supply brembo decals.

We charge £65 per caliper to completely strip them down , paint strip , bead blast , prime and spray them any colour you want. We clean the pistons , and as long as the seals have NO damage , we can chemically clean them and reuse them.

We also keep seals in stock , so by choice you can have new seals fitted , or if any seals are damaged we will change them

Seal kits are £55 per front calipers , and £40 per rear caliper

As these calipers can seem to have problems with threads ect , we can only offer to recondition your calipers , we will not be offering them on an exchange basis , it takes us 2 full days to recondition them , we then send them out on a next day delivery

P&P is £12.50.

Here are some before pics




And some of the finished front calipers





And rears



We only use genuine Brembo seals in the rebuilds

Front seal kits

Rear seal kits



Here we have done some Subaru WRC blue with STi pink stickers





So whatever you need doing , whether its just a colour change , and respray , or a full rebuild with new seals , give me a ring.

They look amazing
Will recon calipers make for better braking?

I have heard that red calipers add 10 hp throughout the rev range

They would only make for better braking if your calipers weren't working properly in the first place , ie , sticking pistons ect , after a refurb they are working perfectly

Hi
We charge £65 per caliper , plus any parts if needed , we could smooth off the caliper face for you before we spray them.
If any threads needed helicoiling we charge £30 per thread , you may find them all ok , you will see when you remove them , remove the bleed nipples when they are off , if they all come out ok , and the bolts all come out ok where they bolt onto the car , then they will not need looking at , at least you know where you stand before sending them in.

It takes us 2-3 days to do them
