Big Supes Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Howdy peeps, Just removed my UK-Spec brakes and they look like they need a refurb as I have signs of seized pistons. I could try and free them up on the bench and slap them back in, but there's obviously a seal gone so they'll only bind up again. Does anyone know of someone who I can send them to for a refurb? Any idea on price? Lastly, I'm pondering replacing with a set of K-Sport brakes instead, but they'll need to work with my wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erachter Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) I used Bigg Red to refurbish my calipers and they did a great job. I paid about £250 for the front calipers including shipping.

I understand some jobs go south and take longer, but if all you're doing is brake calipers day in - day out, you should have a pretty good idea how to quote. I've gone with Brake Caliper Refurbs for the rears. The guy sounded genuine and they'll turn them around in 3 days (no paint). K Sports are arriving tomorrow for the fronts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
