Break Callipers - which way to go?

Gwest44 · Post by **Gwest44** » Mon Mar 18, 2019 6:04 pm

You may have seen my other post where I have been looking at prices for break discs and suspensions refresh.

Well it looks like I will be going OEM on the discs and BC Racing Coilovers for the suspension set-up.

What I need to decide now is what to do regarding callipers & pads (photos attached) - should I just get the current set-up refinished or consider another alternative?

Would welcome your thoughts.

I’ve just had mine refurbed (all
New parts) and painted by big reds (no affiliation)

I bought some old calipers with no carriers and had them done so my car was never with out brakes or didn’t have to sit in my mates garage for two weeks till the refurbed ones came back. My original ones are still for sale if that was the route u might go

Painting my carriers gloss black with foliatec which looks good

They provide new clips. Bar my mechanic being rather liberal with the copper grease and my bad pic before the carriers were painted I’m happy.
