Default Refurbished calipers

Time to swap my scabby looking & slightly sticking front calipers for a nice set of refurbed ones. I've had a bit of a look around & Scoobyworx appear to be the best value once the exchange is factored in, netting back to £250 + postage.

Are there any other suppliers I've overlooked who offer a better deal?

Have you tried godspeed brakes for a price, always fairly competitive with other places

Hi
Depending on what model you have , we can do the Subaru 4 pot calipers for £235 a pair plus £10 P&P , this is on an exchange basis so a deposit is payable which you get refunded once your old calipers are sent back to us.



Or we do the STi brembo calipers for £250 a pair , but don't offer these on an exchange because they can have alloy corrosion problems , and threads pull out , which all can be fixed , but because of this we don't offer an exchange , only offer doing the customers own calipers

Cheers Ian

Hi
Its not as easy as just painting them , as we powder coat them now , they have to be completely stripped , split in half , paint stripped , bead blasted and powdercoated , before we polish the pistons and rebuild them with new seals and bleed nipples and Brembo logo's .

We charge £250 a pair inc vat to do them.

We can't just paint them sorry as they need to be stripped to do them properly

Cheers Ian

Ok no probs. You done me fronts so ideally I’d want the rears to match. When I get a chance I’ll send them down to you.

If you're after the standard 4 pots, Euro Car Parts are worth a look. They don't come with a fancy paint finish but they do look like new and are refurbished by Pagid.

Pair ordered from Ian at Godspeed. Since I had saved a little bit of money it made sense to spend a little bit of money on some braided brake lines while I was on the phone to him. Sweet
