    Cost of rebuilding Wilwood calipers?

    I know this will vary, but generally speaking what does it cost to rebuild one?

    Rebuild is very simple. Simply pop the pistons, inspect them and polish them with an SOS pad and water. Change the seals in the caliper bores. Seals are pretty cheap.

    Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

      Can you get them anywhere that stocks the parts or are they hard to get? Do they get discontinued and get hard to find?

        The seal kits are available anywhere, and won't be discontinued before a few decades. The same size of seals fit many, many calipers.

          1.38" piston seals are like $12 for a set of four at my local circle track supply place.

          it's pretty easy to rebuild the calipers, but takes a while.

            Calipers, unless driven in the salt, will stay in good shape for a long time, with only crusty dust on them. So, when rebuilding the calipers, I suggest to spend a little extra time and remove all that crusty brake dust. After that, they will be like new.
