Selling Brembo Callipers for D2 S8

Hi ,

Earlier this year I had a problem with my callipers when I put new pads in . garage told me the pistons were sticking . I looked into having this fixed and found people to refurbish but it meant I was going to be without a car for too long .. as a consequence I bought a set off Amar of this parish to replace them . But by this time the pads were worn in and the sticking problem went ... I have subsequently done around 12k miles on the callipers and they have been fine . I am now putting new pads , discs etc on and thought I would see if anyone was interested in the callipers to have refurbed ? If so let me know what you think they would be worth .

Slightly off topic (sorry...) but where did you find that would refurb the Brembo calipers? I haven't found anyone after hours of googling...

Ta,

I found a firm in Birmingham , but will now have to spend hours to find them again . They specialized in hydraulics and brake refurbs.

will look later and see if I can find them , the prices were very reasonable .

Hi All,

Can't you just get a refurb kit off Brembo? Refurbing the 4-pots on my current GT-Four (soon to be gone to make way for the 8!) is easy as peas with a seal kit.

Just a thought.

So far no luck in finding any refurb kits for these Brambo's.

If we could find out if these where stock on any Porsche it should be easy
