M16 Exchange Calipers
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.

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.

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

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
