Hi Spec = NO SERVICE.
They did some recon calipers for my sierra years ago, a excellent job, even left the BLASTING GRIT inside the things when they rebuilt them with SS pistons, then fitted the brakes, on seperate bells, but did not grind the inner edge of the outside pad down enough so when they were worn after 100 miles they were wearing the bell away around the bolts when the pad metal touched the bell as brakes were operated.
Hi Spec did ALL the work, all I did was take my car to him.
I still have the discs, if anyone wants a looksey.

i agree,total waste of money,they once supplied me with some discs that fouled the track rod ends and calipers that fouled the discs managed to get my money back but it still cost me £20 in postage for their cock up! would never dream of using them again,ever!

I used Geoff Bedding when he was working from his garage.
The sad thing is, he IS capable of doing excellent work, just don't ask him to do any welding!!
