Rear disks and calipers

[KMIRISH74]

Well all...i got a quote today to fit new rear disks and pads plus service the rear calipers....quote was for $1070 to supply and fit....is this a close to normal price or through the roof...the disks are 140 each but just solid ones not drilled or grooved and the rest is the calipers plus labour...any advice on this would be greatfull....the quote was in wynnum brisbane..also while this is being done is it recommended to service/replace any other parts..?

i payed 80 to have my calipers rebuilt
80 for caliper rebuild kit
and i can get you new brembo discs drilled and grooved for cheaper than they want for the solid discs
so seems very expensive dude,easy to pull the shit apart yourself and just pay for rebuilding calipers

That is outrageous! I would call them tomorrow and tell them they're dreaming!

I had my rear calipers rebuilt and sleeved for $400 and that included taking them off the car and putting them back on. Those were the days where I had no time to spend on the car so just accepted the bill (which I didn't think was cheap, but at least I knew the work was good).

for the 80 dollars they shot blasted the calipers and rebuilt,that was in a proper brake place,i thought was pretty cheap

$1070! Tell them you'll do their brakes for that much!
Way overpriced, sort it out yourself.

I had new pads, rebuilt calipers and disks for $350.

john i was looking at getting in the rear disks from sc86.....thanks for the posts lads...the disks,removal and refitting i have no bother with but a bit of time but its the rebuilding/servicing the calipers...im not sure whats involved but i suppose theres only one way to find out...but if anybody knows of a reasonable place to get them done in brisbane area that would be a great help..thanks again...timbo i just had a look at where tarringa was if you still have the name of the place that done yours it would be good..

Just buy caliper rebuild kit from steve or ajps,take the calumets to brake shop to get kit fitted and do the rest yourself

Word of warning, If your going to do this yourself. You 'have' to have the SST from Toyota to put the rear calipers back together.

I learned the hard way.
