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.

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.

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.
