Brake calipers

Post by Truth » Thu Feb 21, 2019 8:24 pm

Got all four for sale with the nsf sticking when taken off. Looking for £200 but can get them refurbed with all new parts for another £310 for OEM Black or £410 for premium colours, my question is is it worth refurbing them in OEM black, new pistons and parts or just wait out for offers?
Cheers in advance guys.

Price them less than the surcharge and someone might take them off your hands

If you don't have a caliper to exchange when getting them refurbished you have to pay a surcharge

Sorry mate think you misunderstood. I have all four which I’m looking £200 for but will get them refurbed for £310 on top but not if they won’t reach £510. I’ve seen others trying to get used non refurbed ones for all four for £490 at moment which is mad! So The question is £200 for used or spend £310 to sell for £510. Which is better?

Can’t see the point in refurbing unless I’m missing something. Can’t see who would buy them. Not aware of an upgrade path to them from non ///M’s and I would not spend £500 to stand still.

Yeah just Guna leave them, 3 are all good and if someone wanted to do what I’ve done gives them the choice of colours. Will keep them up at £200 but open to offers

That is a nice finish. Best just refit the old ones and hang those on the wall in the lounge. 8) :thumbsup:

Cheers mate. Too late. They’re on. New discs and pads and protective backing plates all round.
