hello type r owners

recently driving my ep3 and suddenly my revs were dropping and car was slowing down,so i kept driving and did'nt think anything of it,next thing i could smell the breaks burning away,i pulled over and checked the breaks and boy they were hot,it was the front right caliper that was stuck,after parked up for 20mins and drove away it was fine,after applying breaks several times and started to get stuck again
did some research on break caliper manufacturing and found break caliper specialist
and i sent both my front calipers in and had them re-manufactured

the work is done exact same way as they done to mine,the only extra option is that you have to pay for is different colour
if you don't want a different colour then they will be just like mine:D
are you getting yours done any time soon?
 
Yer need the one done as it is sticking so might as well send both rears got the mot soon so need em done
