Default Bake Caliper

Ah the joys of having an S2000 in Ireland. Just had a call from my dealer who's had my car since Monday that the front brake caliper is shot, it's sticking and not releasing properly which was causing the wheel wobble I had posted about last week (not the wheel bearing in the end). Has to come from Belgium (no S parts in the country) so won't be in until middle of next week.

Anyway, excuse the moaning. Real point of this post is does anyone have a cost estimate for a right front brake caliper. Been quoted

You probably just need either a cake mix, or a caliper refurb kit.
