Front callipers are £499.95 and £496.85 (£996.80) just for the parts. http://www.lingshondaparts.com/honda...block_03=19250

£170 for fitting is hardly cheap though.

Why is one calliper a diff price than the other?

Surely one should get recon and px the old back into recon. Over 1k for a pair of simplistic callipers on this sort of car is madness.

The callipers look similar to the ones I just did on my dad's 2.2 Accord.

How about this?

The OP could learn something on the way and have a bit of fun doing so. Plus, be left with 1k to go and buy an xbox and ps4.

Gawd knows.

Getting reconditioned items for £60 each is what I suggest and gave correct links to in post number 3 above.

Dicking around refurbing yourself is a mug's game.

Why are a PS4 and Xbox different prices - they are the same thing...

Do you have sand in your vagina? You sound like you are trying to put me down there.

Just communicating in a style I thought you'd relate to!

I think I need to work on my insults, I have much to learn!

Oh well that's fine then. I thought you were trying to put people off posting.

Not at all - re refurbing and replacing, see your recent bolt thread.

Well that's fine then. I thought you were being a dick and you have clarified the position and said you were not.
