M16 Exchange Calipers
Omni - 13/8/07 at 09:42 AM

Hi Guys,

I did a search on the forum about this but I can't find the answer so I am posting it

Where can I get exchange M16 Calipers and what sort of cost am I looking at?

I have a set that I can exchange if that helps keep the cost down.

Cheers,

O

Local motor factors, fifty-odd quid each last time I checked.

Or double that (but in spangly red) from www.biggred.co.uk

biggred - wil be chepaer than local motor factors; have had good experience buying a piston from them and not heard a bad word said against them.

if you feel edventurous, you can always recon them yourselves - new seals/pistons- it is not hard to do - do the sums as it may be cheapper to get a recon pair without ever having to get your hands dirty.

Rally design do them at around £58 each, not exchange. RD3703.

Try Peter Lloyd Rallying - I think I paid £40 without an exchange on a Special Offer

Cheers so far guys. BigRed look good but I am not paying £85 per Caliper

I thought I read somewhere that exchange was around £60 - £70 per pair.

Oh well.

Really?

BigRed

It says 1 = £109, 2 = £85, 3 = £69 (So I took that as per caliper)

I will call them

Right I got to the bottom of it all

The prices are per pair

Option 1;

Polymer coating
Available in Post-box Red, Racing Green, Mid Blue & Teflon Black.
The coating was developed by the aviation industry to withstand the rigors of brake fluid, heat & road salt.

£109

Option 2;

Gold & silver Electroplate
High quality finish used on most modern cars

£85

Option 3;

High temp Black
A standard high temp finish for the budget conscious

£69

These are exchange prices BTW.

I have also spotted that it helps if I read the webpage properly!!! lol

Perfect I will go with these guys then

Many thanks all.

I think their website should be clearer, 2 for £109 is a bargain, I always thought their prices were per caliper not per pair
