4th gen rear calipers

Post by wurlycorner » Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:00 am

Looking into costs to get the UKDM back on the road...

Where's the best place to buy new rear calipers?
Eurocarparts are £69
Brakes International are £61
(both prices after surcharges refunded)

Anywhere less expensive than that?

The advantage of Eurocarparts is I can just drop the old ones over the counter. Anyone know how much it will cost me to post them back to Brakes International?

Nope. They seem to have them on offer atm (down from 90-odd quid after surcharge)!

What is wrong with your current calipers? Piston or sliders?

Haha just came on here to post the same for my gen lude. Rear offside calliper is knackered...however my advice would be stay away from europarts, ive just had one from them via a trusted garage and 2 days later the cars Is back at the garage as the europarts calliper is shoddy and faulty!!!! Doing the school trip this am and all of a sudden got no breaks , turns out calliper is leaking brake fluid!!!!
