Cheers for any help.

Ian at www.Godspeedbrakes.co.uk does a 4 pot recon service. Seems reasonable and the brakes are better then new when done.
He is a trader on here.

It is on an exchange basis though, so you'll have to remove your old ones and post them off.


EDIT, sorry missed the part where you said rear calipers.
There is loads of people on here that would have these lying around, after upgrading theirs. If not try ebay. Should take a couple of hours if you've not done it before.

Cheers yeah did think abt asking Ian but getting a garage to do the job so not easy to do a swap...don't trust ebay but asking on here is a good idea.

I can also recon the rear calipers with stainless steel pistons , they are £150 a pair , I can also supply you the pistons and seal kits if you want to do them yourself

Hi if I was able to do it myself I'd be interested but need to get my local garage to do the work and I'm guessing itd cost a lot to get them to do it?. Handy for future reference though, next house is def going to have a nice big garage to tinker in cheers.

You could check out Budweg (do a search on the net) for reconditioned calipers. I got my MY00 rears done on an exchange basis, they supplied the recons and I returned my originals after fitting.

I'm sure if you fancied a day out in south wales, Ian might even be able to do your calipers while you waited.....!1
