I see that Bigg Red supply a seal kit for £37.50 but brakeparts.co.uk has a 'service kit' for £16.22.

I'm assuming both of these prices are per caliper, so does anyone know if the cheaper kit (budweg?) is off a high enough quality?

Or is there another place not mentioned that's worth going to, I'm assuming going to Renault would be expensive?

i used budweg on a set of 406 coupe brembo calipers about a year ago and more recently a set of six calipers
they seem fine, never had any problems

I used brakeparts for the bits for my RS calipers and they've been absolutely fine, no issues at all.

It's worth calling them up though, firstly because their website is s**te, but mainly because it listed two items, "seal kit" and "service kit", one far more expensive than the other. Called up and asked what the difference was, he took a look and said they were actually exactly the same part number and it was a mistake.

So call em up Thumbs up

Sound cheap all those pricesThumbs up

Pretty sure a 'service' kit won't include seals,just dust covers and bitsDunno

I used this place in the USA for my Evo Brembo parts,as to get them from UK suppliers was knocking on £200 to do 2xfront 4 pots,and 2xrear 2 potsRoll eyes

As above the cheaper one generally doesn't have the piston seals, just replacement dust covers.

Nope, I bought the cheaper one and it has every rubber part you needed for the pair of fronts.

Random. The 406 Brembo kit certainly differs. Smile
