Default I rather have Brembo on my car

the AP don't look so nice and as you know Porsche calipers are originally Brembo made. Also I didn't made yet the business with the AP one's... It was an option to consider, and my friend was not very happy to sell them... I think he is in the mood to assemble them in his future car? Also I don't really like to be beginn for something that I'm paying for. Yesterday, I found these brembo/porsche's ones on a junkyard at the mainland(Porto).

Default they are the same basic caliper

Both made by Brembo - check the piston sizes to see which is more appropriate for the master cyl.

Default Buy new

My mechanic refused to be responsible and wouldn't install used calipers on my car. New will look a lot better.

You would trust someone else to install them?

An opinion leftover from motorcycling days.

Default He refused?????

We aren't talking of cheap parts here, like spark plugs (for example), we are talking of about 1000usd's parts(new). I don't even consider installing it new, also a little maintenance prior to installing, will provide the required reliability. You should seriously consider to visit a more reasonable mechanic.
