Are these calipers worth the money?
I just wanted to find out if these are worth the $200, reman powder coated red oem calipers. They are pretty nice, just wanted some input. Looks like he also has blue or black available.

A caliper rebuild kit is @ $35 (for two calipers).
A pair of speedbleeders is @$15.
A can of red high temp paint is @$7.
So, I guess it depends on how you value your time, assuming you want to take on the job at all.
Powdercoating is a very nice and durable finish, if it's done right.

Nope.
Edit:
Nevermind, found 'em myself.
Don't look too bad, obviously blasted with real coarse media ( check out how crude the Mazda logo looks), and the caliper bodies were not split before coating (bolt heads painted) but I'd only expect that level of detailing if I did it myself.
I don't know what a set of remans go for at a regular parts store...cheaper I'm sure, and probably include the hardware kit (pins/springs/shims), so I guess it depends on how badly you want red calipers.

i have all the stuff to do it. Maybe i should start powdercoating all kinds of stuff and selling it on ebay. Reman Calipers go for around $50 or less from the local parts store.
