Bought some 4 pots a few months back which i was a little dispointed with as they were quite hammered....this is how they arrived:







So i was kinda forced into new rotars and a rebuild to be fair Went to hispec round the corner from me and they quoted me a week for a full strip down and rebuild replacing every seal and bolt

week later I go to pick them up:

one happy chappy even gave me a second set of pads free

Just got to get my wheels so i can put them on

I cant recoment Hi-spec enough delivered on time and even cleaned them up a treat without any extra charge

Yup second hand, even buying them second hand and recon they still work out cheaper than a new set....plus I had no idea of what condition they were in before they arrived
