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!
I had two SL500 brembo calipers refurbished at BCS - both leaking when fitted from where they damaged the seals when inserting pistons, and they claim they test pressure test all calipers - what a joke.
