RE: r53 jcw brakes - chris1160 - 03-02-2016 02:01 PM
whats the price and are they rebuilt?
RE: r53 jcw brakes - ColinGreene - 03-02-2016 03:26 PM
400$
No need to rebuild. Has new rotors/pads Goodrich lines.

Yeah, I'm curious why you want them rebuilt. These calipers just work, in my experience. I bought used ones, installed and used the crap outta them for years with no issues. Sold them to a buddy, put them on his car, and now he's tracking them with no issues...

that's not a bad deal have to think about it and the reason why I would like them to be rebuilt is I don't know how long they could have been sitting in general. Considering the brakes are what stopping me from hitting things I would rather be on the safe side. Not to say Colin brakes are bad but just in a general term. Also i just want the fronts.

Certainly good to err on the side of caution with brakes... but on these calipers, there's not much to fail. They're OEM-style front calipers designed to last for decades...
Now, BBK's can be a different story.

Its a single piston slider, they dont really fail, mine came directly off a running car and straight onto my car.
They see about 4000 miles a year.
Really if you want them great but i know i will sell them as soon as i post them so im not worried about it.

Pregunta. What do you do with the brake wear sensor when you up to the r56 brakes? Is it the same?

Slot in the pads is the same, sensor just works, but I always eliminate mine...
