or the other option is to do a DIY on them.... seal kits are easily sorced, and pistons if you need them..... bit of cleaning fluid and a lick of paint and jobs a goodun!

If you have never done breaks before or dont have help from someone who has, I wouldnt mess with this above statement.. Last thing you want is your brakes failing on you. I dont mind when people want to DIY , but not when it comes to things like this. Your playing with your life.

Go to a reputable shop (you have been given two of them so far)when doing anything brake related, unless you know your way around them.

I can do this for people you\'ll need to supply the rebuild kit but i can fully clean powder coat and rebuild calipers. I would need to check powder coat costs but its not that high or i can just paint them or give them back clean for people to paint themselves.

Thanks Ross glad you were happy with the service. The callipers were certainly a challenge needing a good deal of machining!!

We can offer a comprehensive rebuild to any calliper be it OE standard/RZ or AP/aftermarket

All rebuilds come with a warranty as well as the knowledge the service is backed up by a comprehensive product liability insurance policy in the unlikely event of a problem occurring

Plus we can supply all of the seal kits. Please note we will only use genuine seals and pistons as these are manufactured to the correct tollerances and we don\'t feel the small saving outweighs the possible failure
