    Rear Caliper Options

    About £130 as the calipers only needed painting. However i'd avoid BCS as their service was terrible and the finish is crap. There are a couple of other places to use, Godspeed Brakes being the one that springs to mind.

    Rear Caliper Options

    Hi Stu, Assuming you've gone for the CP9200 caliper with 330mm disc (not the larger 355mm setup). The best and cheapest option is just to keep the standard rear calipers & paint them. The rears don't really do a lot or generate anywhere near the amount of heat that the fronts do, therefore making a rear BBK pointless (looks aside). If you buy AP's rear caliper setup, I expect it will substantially change the brake bias with the CP9200 setup. On this note the AP Rear disc's are actually bigger than the front discs at 335mm. It will however work with the larger 6 piston 355mm setup. You could also do what I've done, which is get a set of the STi rear Brembo calipers, this has a slight affect on brake bias but it's hardly noticeable.

    @Lauren Do we have some sort of proof of this we can show the more stubborn dealers? Or is it a case of find a new dealer? As paying full whack for a service that others are offering so much cheaper is ridiculous. I was informed that the tools required to carry out the work are going from dealer to dealer. Not sure whether that has any truth behind it or not however.
