Who refurbs brake calipers?


Recommended Posts

Posted

The front calipers on the Audi are partially seized. The drivers side can only be spun by hand half a turn before the binding brakes stop the wheel and the passenger side is nearly as bad, they both get pretty hot after a trip out so i'm guessing its time they got seen to!

 

I've been reading about a company called Big Red that refurb calipers but I've seen varying reviews of them online, pretty pricey in comparison to other places too.

 

Does anyone here know of anywhere that can refurb my Audis front calipers at a decent price, do a decent job and get them back to me in a decent amount of time? I don't have any other calipers so the car will be off the road when the work is done.

Just emailed em. I'm a bit worried that ill get the wrong calipers though. There seems to be a great variety on Audi 100's!

 

The price doesn't seem to be as bad as I remembered, although postage will no doubt bump it up a bit. I read they use stainless pistons and the like. Bet GSF use boggo standard stuff, though I do get a 10% discount with them!
