Going to rebuild my front and rear calipers off my 325i and was wondering where everyone gets their caliper seal kit and slider kits from?

Cheers

For the price the dealers charge you're aswell buying a reconditioned set! But there are a few rebuild kits on Ebay for about £15 a side.

Considering you can get 2 remanufactured calipers for about £90, not really worth the effort imo.

Example! I bought a pair of remanufactured E36 M3 calipers from Brakes International at a good price.

but it cant fit a 318i and a 325i because the discs are vented or non-vented.

Also try Mister Auto UK, or any factors such as Andrew Page. They're reconditioned by Lucas and are pretty good.
