Hi There,
I have just had a brake service at a Porsche specialist but when I went to collect it they said that the thread has gone on my rear caliper and to buy a new own is over a £1000 does any one know where I can get one at a reasonable price, a full kit to upgrade at reasonable price?
Sorry the Car is 2008 997c2
Thank you in advance

Re: Rear Brake calipers
Various people do refurbed callipers at much less money than that. Big Red is one. Alternative is a Porsche Indy or use GSF or Euro car parts. Unfortunately its a still bleed nipple in an ali calliper, it seizes. what a surprise......

Hi this is not the nipple but the wind in?

Re: Rear Brake calipers
OK, the nipple seizing is the normal failure for Brembos. But a refurb'd calliper will cover the wind back part as well.Lee Bee wrote:Hi this is not the nipple but the wind in?
