I’ve used Pro Calipers (Thomas), as have a number of people here, and been happy with their work (even if they do use powder coating!). They’ve just done the front calipers that BCS ‘refurbished’ a few years ago and found all sorts of horrors!

Thanks for the review. Unfortunately, I think Audi have sent my caliper there (at their expense) and if there are any issues, my warranty will be with Audi. I really hope there are no problems although they have had it the best part of nearly 3 weeks and it's beginning to concern me. I may send them to Pro Calipers if i am not happy with them. Whilst I cannot see the insides, I have asked to see the caliper before it goes back on the car.
