I am getting my calipers redone and want to get the rest of the components up to the look of what the refinished calipers should be. I don't want to use rusty spring brakets and roll pins and such with freshly powder-coated calipers. So my question is whether or not the OEM parts are really worth the price difference. For example OEM spring, pin and cotter clips are $40-$60 per axle and I can get centric parts for under $10 per axle (pictures look identical). The damper kit for the rears for another example is $92 vs $48 thru the aftermarket groups. (and before you respond, I did search for the answer about 30 minutes - but will admit my search skills are not the best) Thanks in advance for the input.

i would think the quality would be as good as porsche since they dont typically make those smaller parts but farm that work out to vendors such as centric

 

That was kind of what I was thinking. Thanks for the quick confirmation.

 

i used zeckhausen racing for the caliper rebuild kits. about 40$ each caliper. jared will install them if you supply the kits

 

Thanks. He mentioned he had a source too. Are the Zeckhausen parts better than what he normally uses?

 

i dont know what he uses so i cant say. zeckhausen tyically uses stoptech parts which are direct fit for brembo.
