Hi all,
I need to get my AP Racing calipers refurbished. Seals need replacing and they need a lick of paint.
Can anyone please recommend somewhere to get them done? I'm not afraid of removing/refitting the calipers myself, so location isn't a massive issue as I can send them away for a refurb
Cheers in advance!

I've used Bigg Red with good results.

Thanks Plenty! I assume they didn't split the calipers and left the bridge pipe alone?

I used them for Brembos that weren't designed to be split. IME refurb places won't split calipers unless you request it.

That's great, yeah I definitely don't want them split, from what I've researched AP specifically say to avoid splitting them and to not disturb the bridge pipe as it's almost impossible to reseal again!
