Hi again,,, Yesterday local Indie called to confirm that calipers need an overhaul and are suffering from plate lift...

I did a bit of research overnight and found a link from a PH member..
http://www.jackals-forge.com/lotus/968c ... telift.htm

In the link he makes reference to these guys... http://www.mylocalservices.co.uk/Cheshi ... otive.html

I called them up today and they advised that OPC's in the area use them for caliper overhauls. Seems like a decent chap and keen to take the work on. He quoted me £120 per caliper including paint but excluding pistons (if needed).

Does anyone have any experience with these guys good or bad?


Thanks,

A little update. After much calling around and research, I went with addictive motorsport (previously Porsche caliper)

1 week turnaround, and have to say what a great service. Just need to fit along with new front M030 discs and will report on performance, but i'm expecting a night & day difference since my calipers were pretty knackered and all were suffering from plate lift... I had full refurb and powdercoat. One of the calipers needed a new piston. Apparently the previous owner had refurbed to a high standard just before I bought the car. My Arse!!

Hoping car will be ready in next 2 weeks for pick-up and I can drive her this summer...

That looks lovely Phil! Don't you love it when previous garages do not do the work they claimed to have done? It is a bit too common for my liking if I am honest.

It should stop quite well with this new setup. Were you going with the PF pads or are you going with stock items? I ask as I am debating between the Pagids and Textars for the front of my car :).

Hi Chas,

In my experience even the best trusted garages can let you down. The business owners may be enthusiastic & passionate, and give an amazing customer service, but like everything its the staff that make the difference. Seems our nation breeds too many lazy workers that like to cut corners...

Hopefully - Addictive (the guys that refurbed the calipers) said considerign the condition of the brakes I will have a very different driving experience!

The pads that were stuck in the calipers were pretty much a wedge shape and no doubt would of been dragging as the axles tried to spin. I'm expecting the car to feel a bit pokier, and stop on a sixpence lol.. Pads wise I have gone PF (10 compound I think) for the front, and in my oppinion the rears do not get worked nowhere near as hard as the front, so gone with OE pads.

I really wanted Ferodo DS2500's or 3000's for the front, but the PF pads were well priced..

Ps. I'm still searching for a wortec system... :wink:

Because I think you are a great guy I shall make you a deal.

Buy my 951 and I shall give you the Wortec for free :lol: . In all seriousness if one does pop up again you shall be the first to know. I think someone both on here and PCGB was debating about selling his :).
