What price for recon calipers?

[Conor D]

For a MK1 1.6 MX5, a local place has quoted me £40+VAT for the fronts and £50+VAT for rear calipers, and that includes taking my old ones in exchange.

Fair prices? Or is there anywhere else I should check?

Is that for a pair ? Seems a bit cheap !!

I paid around 100 Exchange for a mk2 1.8 caliper from my local motor factor

[SimonV8ster]

Think I paid 170 for a front pair on a MK1 exchange, and 140 quid for a new pair for the rear.

I just paid 180 quid for a new pair of rear calipers for my '96 Mk1.

MX5 heaven has 2nd pairs for £35 plus VAT each iirc

Autolink UK have them in at 60 quid each for the fronts and 70 quid each for the rears.

All four calipers on mine are recon from Autolink (albeit for a 1.8) and I've had no complaints.

No, sorry.. The prices are per corner.

I had one front recon caliper supplied and fitted for £110.

I seem to remember paying about £90 from a main dealer (needed one quickly) about five years ago. They quoted me unhappy (about £140), I told them MX5parts were doing them at £90, they matched it immediately (without even checking).

So if you go main dealer, haggle....
