Recommendations for buying rear calipers?
Want to change mine out as one is binding and they look pretty crusty anyways. Bigg Red do a good deal for refurbishing them BUT they take around a week and they don't have any in stock to swap with mine: I can't leave my car without brakes for a week so that's a no go...
Volvo want around £190 each (with club discount) and my old ones in return at some point down the line, just wondered who else to try? Any suggestions appreciated!

OK, found some other refurbished ones also at a decent price... disaster averted!

I've had no problem using working used parts and "refurbishing" them myself - just cleaning them up and painting them, also replacing the bleed nipples.

If I had the time I'd love to give it a go but I'm both cash and time poor!
