Brake caliper refurb.....

[aceparts]

A few years ago I had my brake calipers re-powder coated by a friendly guy on here who used to own a 993 gt2...... Anyway, they came back full of grit so then had to be rebuilt and now they look as though they've been used as a sacrificial anode on a boat hull.

Where's the best place to buy a new set of 4 or can anyone actually recommend someone who really knows what they're doing?

TIA

B&P Blastings in Newington Industrial Estate are about to do mine. They do all my powder coating/grit blasting and are top quality. Also very cheap.

I wouldn't get them blasted unless you're going to rebuild them afterwards. It killed the seals and the calipers were actually full of grit

I'm well past saving money - last attempt probably cost me £500. I just want them looking decent.

Just to blow some life into this thread. I have a tatty set of Brembo's I needed to send off for refurbishment.
Called Big Red and phone just rang, called them again and was told I would be contacted later. No one contacted me.
Called Brake Caliper Specialists and phone just rang. Filled in on line form and received mail back saying I would be contacted that same day. No one contacted me.
Called Godspeed, phone was answered, as were my (probably dumb) questions and a price given.

Although I thought I was being clever calling around all the specialists first, really only Godspeed gave me much confidence I would ever see my brakes again! So am using them. Will post again with results.

What was the cost? I've just fitted brand spankers from Porsche @ £1300+vat. I have a perfectly serviceable but crappy looking set for sale if anyone's interested!
