Fully refurbished?

Bit of paint and a seal kit, not that much.
Seal kit probably about £40 and powdercoating will be about 20 quid per caliper.
I just don't understand why you'd buy a set of not that good brakes for £350 + carriers + discs + pads when you can buy working, visually OK Porsche calipers which work infinitely better for £250 + carriers + discs + pads...

rich83:
No one in their right mind would referb and powdercoat for those prices. Decent job you are looking at ~100 each.
Deako:
Yep. If you want a proper job done by brake caliper refurbs then you are looking at a decent chunk.
Thinking of the original plan now. Ttrs/rs3 calipers. Just undecided on custom brackets to run TTS 340m discs, or chance it on the TTRS 370m discs. Which are damn expensive.
rich83:
I'd go down the 370mm route unless you plan to keep the car long term, thus taking advantage of cheaper 340mm consumables.
Softishman:
I am going or TTRS calipers and 370mm discs, when time come to change the discs I will look for brackets to fit a smaller disc... But until that... :driver:
