Serratia Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I only use these guys: http://www.brakesint.co.uk/contact_rochdale.html click on the "buy online" and have a look. Prices are reasonable, delivery in 24hours, very good reputation. Basic caliper recon kit is about £20, new rear pistons are about a tenner, front a little more expensive, new bleed nipples are about £3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be good, being delivered 2 months early :lol: I know it's a typo Must admit I have never used them but some collegues at work have and they too say their service is pretty damn good.

Boynxdoor Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I'm after a kit as well for Rear Calipers but couldn't work out how to order on that website or do I have to ring them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serratia Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm after a kit as well for Rear Calipers but couldn't work out how to order on that website or do I have to ring them? Mani, you have to click on "buy online" then enter your registration and it comes up with various categories which you just click on. If you click on calipers, i think there is an "associated parts" button you can press which brings up the caliper recon kits, then just add them to your basket and go to check out. I think the prices shown are without VAT, but you will find out when you go to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serratia Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Nice one Paul, I don't blame you going for new calipers. Refurbing is cheaper but a lot more time consuming. Whereas your new ones will be plug and play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas your new ones will be plug and play really couldnt be arsed to take them to work and shot blast them only to find out there was a problem with the bore. Just a bit of a paint job then i can fit them along with the new discs ,pads and braided hoses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 If you where hoping to do a total break overhaul with new front and rear calipers, discs, hoses, pads, would it be better to go for the full calipers or the refurb kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serratia Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 It's about £80-100 cheaper if you refurb the rears rather than buying new ones. Just depends if you have the time and know how to do it. I've rebuilt two sets, its quite easy plus I wrote a guide in the sticky at the top of the Gen 7 section.
