Rear brake calipers - S1, S2, S2.5
Rear brake calipers - S1, S2, S2.5
I'm acquiring a rear caliper to swap out one that's tiring.
A reputable Breaker is offering me one from a 2005 Elise - means S2.5 yota engined I believe. In any case, each of S1, S2 and S2.5 all have different part numbers for the rear caliper although all look broadly identical on the parts diagram (www.deroure.com).
Does anyone know if they all really are different?
TIA

Re: Rear brake calipers - S1, S2, S2.5
Already been said, but yes they're the same. I managed to get hold of a pair of 8000 mile old rear calipers from an Exige for my Elise. Think I paid £150 for the pair delivered from a guy on Seloc who had put the big brakes on or something. Anyway, might be worth keeping an eye out just in case. Mind you, Stu's offer of recon'ed ones for £90 each is an excellent price

Any chance of getting the details on where you got your refurb'd calipers from? Both my rears are in need of refreshing and I've been struggling to find anyone that does them for a decent price.

Sinclaire ( now Essex Autosport) supplied overhauled rear calipers for my S1 (handed in identicle ones from an Esprit)

I bought four brand new fronts complete with pads for £200, sold a pair to Ape, and kept a pair for spares, but was unable to get any rears.
