Does anyone know where I can get my calipers refurbished? I think I have 1 that is completely goosed at the rear!

Cost? Lead time? etc etc

Any help appreciated.

Was it expensive, did they take long?

Thanks guys.

a couple of weeks IIRC

As I provided my own calipers I beleive it was around £140 to have all refurebished and finished in their special red coating

bear in mind teh Toyota rebuild kits cost in at £80ish and thats not a bad price

what do they carry out in the refurbishment, out of interest?

strip all calipers, replace seals and rubbers, and recoat the whole unit in red

What makes you think you've got a problem with the rears ..?

If you just want to fit a reconditioned rear, Give Brakes International a call - 01706 666999 - they should be able to sort you out a rear caliper - rears for the Mk1 and Mk2 MR2 are about £90 on an exchange basis.
