Caliper Restoration - who'd you recommend?
 

Searched a bit, and found mostly DYI threads.

Interested in having my 996 Turbo calipers rebuild, resealed and refinished. Its time.

talking more than just a cosmetic respray. Seals, and the full job.

who'd you recommend (other than DYI) on this job? anyone have good success with a particular business?


cheers, thanks in advance

i have a friend in tampa fl that tears down the calipers powdercoats them in your choice of colors and if you provide the seals and dust boots will rebuild them prior to shipping them back. about 400$ for 4 corners

I took mine apart myself and had them powder coated by a local for under 200$ (looks in CL, you'd be surprised how many people do it)

If you do the rebuild yourself which isn't very difficult, save yourself the headache and buy from girodisc. I bought a kit from another vendor and wasted a ton of time and frustration with the seals being too small with loose tolerances.

+1 he does great work and he rebuilt mine with new seals/boots etc. highly recommended...

and yes, i decided to run with all five bolts

wow that looks great.

i'll prob go that route. thanks for the replies

question: do i need to provide this guy the PORSCHE decals as well? not a problem just wanna make sure he has everything he needs.

cheers

no, he scored decals and the seals etc. just hit him up. steve has his FLA contact info i'll ill find it if you need.

he's a good guy.

tbtunes@bellsouth.net is my email. i have all of jared's info

Jarad actually doesn't even use decals anymore. He uses stencils, so it's all powder coating.

lord knows i've been powdercoated - but i sure hope my calipers were stenciled.

email sent.

thanks fellas

I am also interested. Will email tbtunes@bellsouth.net for details.
Thanks
