Default Rear caliper

Hi guys has anybody had a decent price on new replacement rear caliper.

I've had a price off T.P.S £220 + the dreaded.

Cheers Lee

I thought the rear calipers were the cheaper ones?
Is that price for one or a pair? I seem to remember about £113 each when I looked about a year ago

You can get remanufactured callipers for around £50. Some company’s will do a 48 hour turn around too if they don’t have stock, just have a google
