Anyone dealt with these guys? Planning on sending my original Pace Car calipers to them to be sleaved and rebuilt. Only ones I know of who do this. Had a leaker, took it apart and was gonna throw some seals in it but rust scored bores and stuck pistons. Lot of crud came out, and the brakes have been flushed every few years. Figure the rest of them can't be far behind. Don't know why I even need brakesas I never drive the thing and noone else will probably ever drive it either. But hate to see the leakage. $320 plus shipping for the rebuilding service. How do they keep em seperate from the others?   Mike

I bought the full brake rebuild kit from them a few years ago....No problems at all. real good deal. All calipers, pads, brake lines and master cylinder, even the brake fluid.  Based on my experience, I would recommend them...........

I've always had great service from them. Prompt shipping and good turn around on core refunds, etc.

Trust me, when I got my 68 18 years ago, I had one bad caliper, so I ordered 4 stainless sleeved units from them with a lifetime warranty and free pads.  To this day they are excellent, in fact at Bloomington Gold, I TOLD THE GUY AT THEIR BOOTH THAT IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE i COULD,VE MADE.  gO FOR IT-fLANDY

I've bought several things from them and have been very happy, very knowlegeable and good to deal with.

Good to hear all the positives! Shipping em out Monday. Justin from Muskegon emailed instructions for assuring I get back my originals. Popped a piston out of one of the 3 non leakers and YUCK, looked bad. Only a matter of time before they'd all go.   Mike

Got my calipers back today. 3 1/2 week turnaround not counting shipping. I shipped em parcel post, 1 1/2 weeks to get there!They shipped em back UPS, same price as I paid, 2 day delivery.  Very satisfied with the service and will probably be doing it again in the future as my white 79 isn't sleeved.(rebuilt 1 caliper already, next time it gets sleeved) They spray them primer grey so I put a coat of black on them. Look great. Looks like this weekends project.  Mike
