Hi Guys,
Im selling my RS callipers due to buying brand new ones. They are in need of a refurb. Basically, i had a stuck piston and have disassembled one of the callipers, freed up the piston but haven't had the time to rebuild these before Pugfest and for how much i payed for the new ones, it was stupid not to do it!
So, current state is, they need re painting and come with a full refurb kit. For anyone who has been out in my car or a car with these on, they will know that these will glue you to the windscreen if you need them to!
Im after £100 for them (callipers only!) and can bring to pugfest if needed

Correct they are. The adaptors aren't for sale so you will have to make something up but they are an unbelievably simple design. I can send pics if needs be.

Thanks Adam
If they don't sell soon, i will rebuild them my self and sell them for the proper amount. Should be a bargain for someone. They are a seriously good brake!

They fit under my 16s with enough space for a ants pube but seeing as you'll have to make your own adapters, you could pull them in a bit. They need a 28mm disc with a 55mm swept area which is quite a common size so you can choose your diameter from there. Mine are 310mm

I think with a smaller bell and a 295 or 300mm disc they'll go under quite a few 15"s.
bank says no, unless youd swap for some wheels

Update on this
Still got the callipers here boxed and ready to go.
Ive since decided that i am going to run solid discs on my car for ease and cheapness so i am also selling the rotors and bells. The rotors are virtually brand new (less than 300 miles on them) and are straight as a die (measured on my local engineering shops lathe). They cost about £275 from Hispec new. Im also chucking in the bells. If I'm honest which i will try to be, there is some run out in the bells. You could either have them measured up and replicated (shouldn't be expensive at all) or what i would do, have them put on a lathe and straightened up (should cost no more than £20).
The callipers, as above do need a refurb. To be honest, i can't see a reason why you couldn't run them as they are now but the paint is in bad condition (only cosmetic i suppose) and one piston does seem to stick slightly.
This is basically a full kit (which sell second hand for £500-550) minus the calliper mounting brackets which are so simple (I'm happy to provide measurements of mine) to make. Im after £260 for the lot.
Any questions, please ask
