Are they good? or are they crap i was talkin to the dude that usually answers the phone and he talked like those things were 10 better than brand new ones:rolleyes: do they polish the inside of the caliper cylinder? what do they do? do they just slap a rebuild kit on there? i need to know who had done this/experince with it! reason is all the calipers on my r are frozen and i have 2 spaers and would they take these too or will they just take how many u by from them?:confused:

I have a friend that bought one of their rear 400EX calipers. It looked great when he got it (could have easily been passed off as brand new). As far as I know he hasn't had any trouble out of it.

the fronts are bad cause you need to match them so you dont get a pull from one side you have to bleed them equally.......:( besides i am on a really tight schedule and need to have my r rideable in about 2 1/2 weeks!:eek: :eek2:

uhh just wondering what do you do to your calipers? just throw a rebuild kit on there and some fresh pc? or do you polsih the insides out and the cylinders to make them as good as new? i also have 2 extra clipers that dont work well but the bodies are fine on all of them how much could i get on 5? 1 rear 4 front.........:confused:

ok thats kool! ok just for example if i had 5 calipers in ok condition but they were frozen how much would u take for a core charge on each one if the bodies on them are in good shape only with scratches and bubbled paint and a lil dirt on them?:confused:
