Guys,

Looking to get front calipers refurbed. Looked at Brake Caliper Specialists but have seen some issues with communication and time scales.

Anyone had any recent contact with them / used their services? HAs turn around improved.

If not them, anyone esle got any recommendations.

Thanks

Kev

I used a company called Godspeed Brakes, I was very happy with the refurbishment of my steel brake callipers - polished pistons, new seals, new fixings and machined mounting faces etc. Only minor gripe was the RS decal being a bit heavy duty and stuck on last. They claimed to get the best calliper finish they could only stick this decal on afterwards. I guess with the decal on the top, then at least it can be replaced as and when required.

You can't go wrong with Godspeed Brakes. http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/

I had a set of Brembo calipers done by them and they were absolutely faultless, even down to the logo. They often update their Facebook page with refurb examples - worth having a look.

I wouldn't go anywhere else for braking parts when I had the Impreza.

Godspeed sound good but what is the turnaround time like guys?

I've used these guys before

They are good..but turn around time was around 2weeks

Spoken to both and think I will go with Godspeed.

Both quoted 10 days maximum turnaround with a7 day more than likely.

However, BCS were about £300 higher despite Godspeed manufacturing the Pistons out of stainless rather than the chrome plated steel ones from Alcon.
As they are 8 pot calipers that's a bloody lot of Pistons lol...
