Thats the people, if they are that price, then try your local motor factors, often they will do reconditioned units!

Amber performance are where mine came from.

Rear calipers at £75 each is very very cheap price - they are very expensive new. Rears cost much more than fronts for some strange reason.

When I did my brake pads last the Mintex ones all needed to be filed to get them in and moving smoothly, the same with the wife's Jazz.

JRT automotive are the best price £110.00 each for the rears from their ebay shop. I sent my old units back and he gave me £30.00 for them. The rears are more expensive as they have the handbrake mechanism on them.

For the record S2000 calipers are absolute junk!

They're not; they're designed for a country where they are expected to be serviced every four years, not ignored for ever.

Every four years they will need replacing not servicing.

I think they are designed for a country that doesn't use salt on the roads in winter weather.

I've done a seller search on ebay and can't find anything for JRT, jrt or automotive!

Can tell us the id, or an item number please?
