Overhaul PBR Calipers

**Bluehoon** · 27-01-2009, 08:53 PM

Hi Mate,

Just purchased some PBR C5/6 Calipers. The 325mm jobbies from a BA XR8.
What would it cost to overhaul them? Can they be painted form black to alloy? Appear in good condition but just want to be safe.

Additionally, they're going onto a BF XR6T Ute (has traction control) (the 322's from ute going onto a BA). The list of parts is something along the lines of:

Front 325mm
Overhaul PBR's
Ultimates
4000's
Braided Lines

Rear:
Slotted (328 mm ventilated)
GCT
Braided Lines
Fluid

Quote would be awesome thank you.

Cheers

Could you PM me with the Seal Kit (Service kit?) Numbers for the PBR Upgrades and for the standard rear brakes on a BA XR8 Sedan?

Emailed PBR a week ago but they don't seem interisted in responding..

Thanks mate, i'll be buying from yourself as you actually seem interisted in helping rather than PBR themselves.

I need to get some cash set up for all that. Probably pop in and see you in March..
