    Anybody know of a good F355 Caliper Rebuild Service?

    I'd like a nice service which will paint and rebuild the calipers...I have no interest in doing this myself.

    I think Bradan has done this for others.

    I believe that is correct. Daverocks had them work on some calipers that he had purchased.

    Gorgeous color combo! And a berlinetta. Hope my car isn't jealous that I'm having feelings for another F355 right now ;)

    I bought a second set of calipers and put away the OEM ones and had Bradan rebuild and paint the second set yellow and they are on the car.

    Dan did a great job on them for a fair price and I highly recommend them.

    Great to hear Bob. Thanks for noting your strategy. Can you give us a ballpark estimate for the paint and rebuild?

    Robb,

    $750 for rebuild/repaint . I found the calipers for $600 on eBay.

    My calipers were done well before that debacle. The wait time was not onerous and there were no issues with them.

    I installed SS brake lines at the same time and would suggest that if you decide to do this. Dan was particularly helpful at 7 PM on a Friday night on his cell phone with an issue I was having with the brake lines.

    AGain, I woud highly recommend them.

    Outcast,

    That silver on burgundy looks great. Kudos on picking something non-traditional.

    DrBob,

    You are giving me expensive ideas.

    Neil. That's a great price for all four calipers at once with pads that probably don't even need rebuilding. In order to get mine for 600 I had to purchase from two different guys and they were in bad shape with no pads.

    Curious about this. If you had a problem, or you're having a problem, have you called Joe Abernethy to discuss it? I could not imagine your problem not being taken care of by Joe and his crew, if indeed you took the time to let him know about it.

    Thanks everybody for the input!

    I've decided to do it myself.

    Can't start for another couple weeks, but I'll keep you posted.
