Used Brake Caliper Advice
Discussion
Recently purchased these as an upgrade from the standard 288mm ones on my Ibiza (these are 312mm ones from a TT).
I have new discs and pads and I plan to give them a cosmetic refurb, but not sure whether to change the seals while I'm at it, the kit is about £20 plus will take some of my time in disassembling reassembling etc. Other option being to spend on upgraded fluid or braided hoses?

For far I've attacked one caliper with some brake cleaner, grease remover and a dremel:

They appear to have had the outside painted so that comes off fairly easily, but the inside has about rather a lot of dust impregnated into surface.
I'm quite busy with university work at the moment so I'll get bits done when I fancy a break, students these days eh!
