Bigg Red Calipers
 
hello all, I am looking to rebuild a set of jcw calipers and was wondering if anyone has any experience with Bigg Red calipers. I found them on eBay, the caliper rebuild kit includes new seals, pistons and boots.

Very interested in this as well. My JCW pistons are cracked and this is a way cheaper alternative to the Sneed Speed upgrade or having to replace the whole calipers themselves.

Ive contacted the seller directly, he ensured me the pistons are a direct fit, and if there are any issues they will provide a full refund. I’ve searched around, seems like s2000 guys like the company Bigg Red just can’t find anyone that’s used them for the jcw calipers. I have 2 sets of calipers I want to rebuild so I’m trying to keep the cost down.

So I went ahead and ordered the rebuild kit from Bigg Red, the pistons seem to fit very well, I only got a chance to rebuild one caliper so far, but hopefully next week I can finish it up and install them on the car

Wow, that looks really good! Thanks for posting. Can you share the ebay seller? I can't find it for some reason.

What is the material of these pistons? Aluminium?

So I fiannly got a chance to get the other caliper done, very happy wth the results, hopefully I’ll have a chance to install them by the end of the weekend. I will updated after they are installed after a couple drives.

Hey guys, so after about a week of driving with the rebuilt calipers I took the pads out yesterday to inspect the pistons. Everything seems to be holding up and the brakes feel great! I will be attending the dragon this year so I’ll be doing some hard braking and can report on the calipers after that.

Thanks for the rebuild info as I have just acquired a JCW.
