930 Turbo calipers are difficult to get refurbished correctly. They need to be stripped to individual components, the anodising needs to be removed, then the castings blasted then re-anodised. DustyM did a set recently, I think there are details in his resto thread. The last set that I sent to ClassicCar Automotive were returned as too far gone to do properly (economically). The customer found another company, BCS, that charged nearly £600 to refurb and hand paint them black :roll:
Rims I can do.

What year Turbo ?

Early cars had Aluminium Front Calipers which were the same as the 911S and cast Iron M Type Rear.

3.3 Turbos has 4 pot calipers front and rear which are much more costly to refurbish.

The aluminium pistons often show signs of corrosion and seal kits tend to be very costly.

We have just had a batch of new caliper pistons manufactured in a Grade 5 Titanium with a black carbide coating and have seal kits in stock.

We use Titanium as it has much better thermal conductivity than Aluminium.

We also have a Vapour Blast machine and can refinish the calipers to the correct standard

We refurbish all of the early 911 calipers and have Ti pistons for all different types.
