My nearside front caliper is sticking, noticed it a few weeks ago when the car was juddering whilst driving down the road, but it managed to free itself. Unfortunately, happened again yesterday, and when I parked up when I arrived at work, the wheel area was super hot.
So, I think I'm going to use this as an excuse to get all four calipers refurbished and powder coated. Wanted to do this since I bought the car over a year ago, so this has given me the impetus to get it done.
Anyone used Godspeed in Bridgend, South Wales? I spoke to the guy over the phone, he quoted £500 all in which seems reasonable, with a 7 day turnaround. Anyone recommend anyone else?
Also, there's the question of what colour to powder coat them. The car is moonrock grey. Is red too obvious? Maybe a gunmetal grey?

cheers all

I think that's a bit pricey.

That's about £280 all in.

Also ask Big Redd Bigg Red. BiggRed Refurbished Brake Calipers

I wouldn't bother with powder coating as S2000 calipers don't last that long and you'll find you will have the odd one to do from time to time.Mmuch easier to just paint them yourself, plenty of kits on eBay and you will have paint left over for when the inevitable happens.

I bought a pair of front callipers from Dewsbury Auto Salvage through E bay.New genuine items and well priced, 2 years now and no further problems
01924 466666. Give them a call easier than messing about with new seals etc.

The ones from DAS are defiantly NOT genuine Honda (nissin) parts, they are copies but seem to be good ones I have a pair of rears on mine been on 2 1/2 years.

really good job, price about your quote I guess. A lot of places quote without a new piston too which you'll need ime, about 20-25 per corner

Refurbs are good as new so last a while

They have the same part number on the casting so assumed they are.

Like I said good copies.

let me know where you go for this and how much you payed. I have a rear caliper that slightly sticks and would liked to get it fixed at some point.
