Nice job. How much did all the rebuild pieces cost?

Caliper pistons (Centric) were $15 a piece and I got 4 for the front; the rear were good. Piston boots and seals (Centric) were $5 a piece for the front and $3 a piece for the back. I reused the sliding guide boots since they were fine.

Did you have your own blaster? For those who dont what would a shop charge to clean all the parts you did?

It looks great BTW

I had access to an enclosed blaster. I don't know what a shop will charge; better off getting your own (tank and nozzle plus small compressor and sand); then you can take your time.

One of the break hoses broke, so I'll be doing those as well; stay tunned .

Nice job on the dust covers and the center rotors too.
