Title: Where to buy NQSBBK?
Post by: Chrismeardon on December 25, 2013, 08:03:12 pm: Evening all, merry Christmas!

I am now in a position to buy a brake kit for the edition 30. After much reading on here about the pros and cons of r32 vs 4pot calipers I've decided to go for the Porsche NQSBBK. My question is, where do people buy this setup? Is it a case of buying all the bits separately or can I buy refurbished calipers, hoses, carriers and pads (possibly discs too) from one place?

On a side note, what high performance brake fluid do people recommend?

Thanks in advance, Chris

He may have some refurbished calipers to sell together with the fitting kit. He works in close association with our brake guru DaveB1976.

Bought my fitting kit from Dave and got my last set of calipers refurb'd by Jonny. Both top chaps to deal with, if not VERY busy.

Kits complete and ready to fit. The whole kit was sent to us last year with the fateful words "no rush" (worst thing to say to me or Jonny) he heasnt seen them since but the calipers I saw last week were pretty much flawless and ready to go

Cheers Dave, I guess that Andy isn't looking to fit them to his motor then? I'll send him a PM. Have you thought about opening some kind of website, even just an ebay shop for people to purchase from.

Post by: MC71 on December 26, 2013, 12:05:53 pm: ^^^^ Newly refurbished calipers (with new pad retaining clips and bolts), a DaveB fitting kit and OEM Porsche pads (plus shims) and new OEM discs cost me £800 ish a year ago.

I'm sure DaveB can be tempted with the right incentive ... :wink:
