Stock Brake Rebuild
 

For those wishing to preserve originality, the stock brake calipers can be refurbished to as-new condition.

Calipers are disassembled, inspected, degreased, and media blasted to remove all traces of oxidation.

After media blasting, they are sent out for plating and resleeving.

After plating and new sleeves, new high-quality pistons and seals are installed.

Aftermarket Brake Upgrades
 

Many customers are interested in using aftermarket brake calipers when refurbishing the brake system.

For some, it makes economic sense... some kits are actually less expensive than the cost of a stock resleeve and rebuild.

For others, it's about decreasing the unsprung weight at the wheel; new aluminum calipers are much lighter than the stock units.
