Hi there, I was wondering' does anyone know how much it costs to re kit vt / Vz twin pot calipers front as well as the rears?? as I have brought a complete set of front and rear calipers from a wrecker to replace the ones that i have on my Vt SS. But while I was cleaning them up to get them ready for painting and detailing I found that one front caliper has a perished rubber dust boot on one of the pots and one rear caliper may appear to be sized as the piston doesn't want to go back. I am tossing up at the idea of either going back to the wrecker to replace the x2 calipers or get them re kitted or I can simply clean up and paint my old calipers on my car that are ok before i put on the new DBA and PBR slotted rotors. any suggestions are welcome
Im not sure on the reco cost, But i'd say just go back to the wrecker's and get them to replace the siezed one,Thats if you cant get it moving with a little persuasion and work's ok afterward, Then from there just get new piston dust boot's and put them on yourself.
I think i read somewhere a wile ago the reco cost was 400+, Im not sure if that was 2 or 4 caliper's.
Thanks mate I was thinking about returning the x2 calipers and exchange them for better ones.
I mate I found out from Apex brakes in Hamilton that it will cost about $100 +gst per caliper to recon and an extra $40 if you want them painted any colour you want. in toatl $506 inc Gst
A caliper kit, which comes with the seal and boot is about $15 each for the rears and about $25 each for the fronts. That's in Aus anyway.
