Talking Brakes back from EBC

Before you say it, yes they are quite blingy, but I don't care, my car is quite blingy

Top effort from EBC, all done in 1 week, new seals, pistons, gaskets, bleed nipples and covers. The carriers are all reconditioned the same way too so they look like the following pictures.







Pics of them on the car will follow this weekend.

To anyone thinking of buying calipers from breakers when theirs seize up, I suggest you recon yours instead, guaranteed to work and I can confirm workmanship is second to none.

All 4 calipers with carriers for

I don't think "quite" is the right word.

I'd give them a month before they look shite again, least they should not stick now.

It won't.

I had some refurbed calipers all zinced up, and I had some other calipers I painted with some high temp paint.

The zinc started to go, the paint didn't.

I still have some left and i'll get you the name of it - it's a Bright sliver that will give you a zinc like finish
