SO I managed to grab a bargain on Ebay:
Tarox B360 10 Pot Calipers with 360mm 2 Piece discs......I have taken them to a local engineering shop who have said that 1 of the seals could do with replacing so I have ordered 20 brand new pistons/seals to refurb the calipers completely, the discss are being skimmed as look like they have taken some abuse from some real hard compound pads (Although no lips on them!)...
Also found out from Tarox that they were used on one of Milteks Race cars :signLOL:
Ohh and removed the rear seats for the time being as I need to give them a serious clean :)

Just shy of the £700 mark which I thought was a bargain considering they are over 3K brand new :signLOL:

So a few more updates, had a bit of a scare today when the guy started to skim the discs. He was very wary of the minimum thickness of 24mm and the discs were slightly warped but luckily they stayed within the limit at 24.7 and 24.8 mm and now basically brand new and straight again :)
After having a few conversations with Tarox it turns out these brakes were on a German Mk6 R milltek Track car and done a 24 hour session in Dubai and a few other races so I can now see why the seals where completely destroyed and discs warped.
Anyway, 20 brand new pistons and seals (10 per caliper) as well as brand new bolt kit, pad retaining clips and new fast road/track pads:
More to come after soon :happy2:
