Lightbulb Big Red Caliper refresh by PMB

The front big reds on my C4S were in relatively poor condition, and over the last few months, I became increasingly more frustrated looking at the flaking paint on the calipers. I watched a few YouTube tutorials on refreshing calipers but felt like I was not going to do it proper justice with an amateurish job. Right around the time I looked into options, the PCA YouTube channel launched its video on the folks at PMB Performance out of Utah.


The cost seemed reasonable, so I figured, why not, let's give them a shot.





I packed up my calipers, stuffed them in a flat rate box, and shipped them to their HQ. A few days later, a fella from PBM contacted me about my preferred caliper and logo colors, and they got to work. About ten days later, a box appeared on my doorstep.






I got quite excited over the condition post-refurbishment; those Brembos look like they just left the factory. Leaps better than what I could have done myself - excited to get them mounted once I get new hardware from Suncoast next week.

PMB has always had a great reputation, AFAIK. I will likely be sending my calipers their way one of these days.

Did the cost include any replacement parts, such as pistons and seals, or just labor to repaint them? And that’s for fronts only?
