  • Weight of calipers

    Can anyone give an accurate or approx weight for a pair of the big red calipers please from boxter S etc...

    LA Porsche breakers have quoted $250 for shipping!!!

    i calculated i could send my clutch and cover plate to them for far less than that and that was a weight of 15kg surely a pair of calipers dont weigh that!?!?!


    Thanks guys

    Ant, the calipers weigh 3.8 kilo's per caliper without brake pads fitted. Using Fed-Ex express rates, that would be about 95-110 GB.

          Have bought SidSpuds now....

          The LA Breakers want $450 for the calipers (site lists them for $400 tho so maybe not many to be had) and with the exchange rate it looked to possibly be a bargain but with shipping so high ive decided against it unless they changed it of course then could be a bargain for others

          I had already arranged they didnt send an invoice for full amount to help evade any import charges also.
