I fitted my S3 rears last weekend after refub'ing them myself.  I didn't get a reply to my emails to DaveB so had a shot at it myself and had a local friend with powdercoating facilities sort them out in red.  It was a pain stripping them down and even more so getting them back together but I got there in the end  :rolleye:

To be honest, by the time that I had bought new seals (even though existing ones were in reasonable shape) plus the VAG lithium grease (which can only be compared to printer ink and platinum for the cost per gram!) and slaved over the calipers, I wish I had just sent them away! A lot of hassle for not much gain in braking performance as expected.
