Most of the cheap quoates will have no seals replacement.
Even worse is when they mask up and paint arround.
Every calipers that is more then 5 years old or had more then 50k will have sticky pistons with worn fluid selas.
Some will strip them down and replace all seals with non genuine brembo parts just to keep the quotation low, they might even send you an extra email after you send them calipers with an extra costs if you prefer genuine seals, and that's when you will realised you was screwed.
Proper refurb is not cheap but not expensive ever when you consider how long will it last and what advantage you gain.
At the end of a day you get what you pay for.

My rear calipers are looking a bit tatty, especially since the fronts are new Motorsport items and very, very red.
Was thinking of getting one of the Porsche specialists like RPM or 9E to refurb them for me, but are there any other places that will do a proper job to OEM standard?

Thanks! 2016 was an expensive year but worth it, I believe.
