Brake Caliper Refurb recommendations
Discussion
As titled,putting my 1991 JDM car Subaru SVX back on the road after an engine refresh and as the suspension(coilovers are being refreshed) is coming off thought I would do these too.The fronts were uprated to KAD 6pot calipers,but the rear are standered singlepot(never been touched),even after 30+ trackdays. Will also be enquiring about a company for a steering rack refurb(leaking).As this car is below the radar always had trouble finding places as there was never a straight forward part availability and the car was low volume.Thanks for any advice.
Who are KAD ?
There is a KAD in England who do brakes...but are largely Mini based....I presume not the same company ? If they are, maybe they could refurb ?
Or Big Red seems to be a name that pops up regular with brake caliper refurbs
As for the rack, do you know if it's similar to a legacy or Impreza rack ? Subaru do have a tendency to use common parts which can make swapping very easy.

Are very very good. Had a set of Supra Calipers done by them. They even put the Supra stickers back on them without asking!

Yep another big up for Biggred, they;re good with obscure stuff. I sent them 4 calipers from a 1981 Lancer turbo after chatting on the phone, they measured everything up, refurb'd the front and rear calipers for the agreed price on their website and returned them within 10 days, so all things considered I was well chuffed.Are very very good.

Give them a call, they really know their onions.
