I'm narrowing down a deal for the 88 XJS I posted about and I'm curious who you guys like to use stateside for freshened up calipers? With one being frozen and in need of replacement, I'd like to speed up the process, and make it easier on me, by replacing the rear calipers with fresh ones instead of trying to tear them apart, clean them, rebuild them, paint them, etc. I didn't have so much luck while trying to do that on my daily driver pickup truck so I'd rather spend a little extra up front and have them already built for my sanity so I can slap them on and get the subframe back in.

The local parts stores sell rebuilt calipers, and I guess I could just order them locally, but if there is a vendor that has a good price on them, I'd rather support a forum vendor. Or maybe there's a member on here that rebuilds them on the side for spending cash.

Also, while I'm at it...a few places to check for rear suspension parts? I'm still researching and looking myself, just looking for others' recommendations as well.

 

Coventry West in Ga==one of the sponsors here--good quality work!

 

I was thinking of them, as they are not too far away from me. I'm in Chattanooga, so any of the Atlanta'esque locations are great for me. I've also been doing lots of looking at XK Unlimited as they seem to have a big collection of goodies too.

 

Can't go wrong with Coventry West. I've bought rebuilt calipers, steering racks, differentials, and cylinder heads from them....all very good.

In fairness, though, I've never had any problems with Cardone or Centric rebuilt calipers, either

Cheers

I got a great deal on a similar set via Rockauto. Centric or Cardone? Great price. No core return needed, The latter was persuasive.
