    S2 Coupe Rear Calipers

    It would seem that the o/s rear brake caliper has seized and is preventing the car passing it's mot!!

    Can anyone please offer any advice as to where I could source a recon caliper and potential cost of such??

    OR.... would it be better to upgrade S6 calipers / A8 discs??? Also, can anyone give me an idea of the cost of this conversion???

    Thanks in advance,

    TQ

      I believe GSF offer recon calipers for the rear, from what im told they should be decent quality ones as well and not cheap and nasty ones.

      there are ways around the problem tho if you dnt mind getting your hands dirty

        As mentioned in those threads, I had to replace my NSR caliper recently - best price I got was 4-Ring-Spares, came to about £60 including delivery IIRC, and they had them in stock. It was a re-con of a genuine Girling caliper. Works fine.
