August 19, 20159 yr comment_476060 "Conedodger" posted a thread about restored brake calipers for our 240's--- www.pmbperformance.com Core business is Porche and Ferrari brakes---but they love the Z'z too!Not cheap, but they are fantastically well done. Porterfield pads and shoes. New caliper pistons. Look like new and perform as well.Very happy with the set I received from them--highly recommended---your brakes aren't a good place to save money!

August 19, 20159 yr comment_476065 I've found that even some "new" parts, like clutch slave cylinders, have honing grit inside. Every operation in a shop costs money, and some of these overseas shops probably pay by the piece.

August 19, 20159 yr Author comment_476073 I wouldn't think anything less of Rock Auto or any other parts provider, this is unfortunately an industry accepted standard. Chris I agree with you 100% on tearing down any rebuilt hydraulic parts. That about says it all.
