Default ebay RED calipers

I just got these this AM
from RGW Distributing LLC found on ebay
$299 + $900 core charge -- so you know I'll be shipping my old ones back

so far they look great and RGW said they are completely rebuilt with new gaskets etc...

I plan to have them installed tomorrow/Thursday
With new HP+ pads front

Do they look pink in person or is that just the camera?

I just did mine here at the shop and they came out great. We can do any color/ logo. We can usually shoot them same day and ready for install next day depending on logo. These are mine check em out. Let me know if anyone is interested. Btw: the logos are hand painted NOT decals so no future bubbling/ peeling issues.

DAYUM those are hot.. NICCE v flag

How many miles before these calipers need a rebuild? over 100K? or just alot of track abuse?

mine had 90k miles WITH track time about 8-10 days a year for past 4yrs
rears were ok, front seals with cracking...

it was $299 + $41 shipping for all four + core charge which I'll get back.
compared to a local shop who quoted $600 to rebuild the fronts only and no powdercoating.....easy decision.....and no down time :-)

I'm having trouble finding RGW Distributing LLC on ebay and google. What's the best way to look them up?

I always wondered how to swap calipers without having all the fluid pour out.

I've always turned that into a full bleed time and new fluid time.

usualy if your putting new calipers on its nice to flush the whole fluid out so ive never thought it was a big deal- brake fluid is fairly inexpensive and isnt much more work to bleed it with 100% new fluid. we invested in a brake flush machine- works beautifuly- bleeds it and gets like 99% of the fluid out
