Any how-to for a caliper re-build? Does my oem service manual show how?
I was thinking of just getting new ones.... but I think caliper rebuild kits are cheap.
Mine are very beat up and could use a re-freshening esp w/ SS pistons up front.
I think I'll have them powdered black while I'm at it.
Or should i just get some new oem ones for $300 or whatever they run?

I have a set of the VBP vented front disc with brackets. Only about a 1K miles on them in the street.
If you are interested in them drop me a PM. Would like $400 for front and rears. Rears are not vented.

Fall Brake Sale - Vbp
We are having a Fall Brake Sale, 15% off many of our brake kits. Our website only shows the C3X package, but I can probably do the same on some others.
We offer Forum members 10% discount so if I cannot do a sale price, I can at least get you 10%. Our powder coating services are discount exempt.
Email me at Pattie@vbandp.com or call me toll free at 1-800-237-9991 and let's talk about a brake project

Since I had Z06 red ones put on the wife's coupe at delivery and that
left me with an extra set of OEM coupe brakes I swapped them onto
my car after it did a coupe years on track. The guy I have do the
work suggested the rebuild for the old ones and it was really cheap.
They look like new and I've swapped back to the originals since then.
I have the wife's rebuilt and waiting for the next cycle.
