Re: Brake Caliper Pistons - anutz - 08-05-15
is there any issue with using "Pattern part" piston sets or should i stick with OEM?
A set if pistons and seals for a front caliper is 70-80 on ebay, but not sure what OEM is, looking at fowlers...

That'll give you the prices too, think about £120 per side plus vat! Rough price but brand new!

It wasnt advice it was a question look

See the word WOULD ---- I am asking not telling
Now I know thank you, red rubber grease it is then

Give us a hint of a price then, we're all friends here?
Re: Brake Caliper Pistons - anutz - 09-05-15
will post the totals etc soon - just realised i need to ammend the order, added 4 too many packs of seals
But we are talking about 300$ total for 8 pistons and 4 seals then 70$ shipping so UK pounds we say 200£ UK, then about 40£ fees at worst
SO should work out at less than 1/2 price of most UK sellers for the whole lot...
Will update with my recipt once i sorted this issue out

I searched last night darrsi and past it on to anutz, think it's only $61 pr
Here's a link to that part, but as anutz said even with import tax and deliver etc still far cheaper than UK
Might be worth a look for other bits and pieces if anyone needs anything

Re: Brake Caliper Pistons - sinto607276 - 09-05-15
$400 = £258 in today's exchange rate
Re: Brake Caliper Pistons - anutz - 09-05-15
yep and my order hit 398$ delivered, so even with 23% import/duty, we are only looking at under 310/20 where as in the UK you are talking 440+ for the same kit....so significant saving...

Yeah that's about right anutz, I actually thought the tax was added already giving you $400 but even then it's a good saving :-)
Re: Brake Caliper Pistons - anutz - 09-05-15
yes good saving - just have to wait now - but time to look at my rear caliper and see if i cannot sort - also have some high temp paint so i can now spray my downpipes etc...
