Brake caliper rebuilders?

Is there a trustworthy company that can rebuild and refinish my 930 calipers for a reasonable price

Does Eric Shea (Pelican username "Eric_Shea" and Early 911S Registry username "Neunelfer") do Turbo brakes?

He does wonderful work on Aluminum S calipers as well as 908,910 calipers and the standard M calipers.

Give him a call. www.pmbperformance.com

John at Goldline Brakes in Seattle did a great job on my '68 M calipers.

I had my 930 calipers rebuilt last Jan by http://www.vehiclecraft.com/

Doug is a member here, I think his user name is vcraft?
Rebuild was top notch! All 4 corners was around $1100, but that included powder coating and machining back the Porsche name to metal.

I did my own 930 calipers... I purchased our host caliper paint and seals. The hardest part was getting the old seals out of the caliper bodies. One of our members told me to buy a seal removing tool for $15.00 and that did the trick. The rest was pretty easy once you did it...

If you're interested in more information for DIY PM.

Mine were $89.95 per wheel plus shipping from NY to Seattle and Seattle back to NY (about $25 each way - heavy boxes).

Here's a picture of one of the finished front calipers (sorry about the arrow, I used it in another post).
