I would like to introduce you the new service offered by the brake remanufacturing company – Bigg Red Ltd.

It is the Polymer Coating service for the NSX brake calliper and bracket.


I would like to say big thank you to Tony and John at Bigg Red for supporting us to establish this new deal and lots of time being spent for the conversation between us.

I also would like to say thank you to other owners who shared their previous experience with Bigg Red as well as those who offered me the opportunities for the similar deal.



Initially, I was bit speculative as Bigg Red ebay store didn’t list the difference between the original and later spec callipers.

However, after talking to them through email and over the phone, they were very helpful and friendly so decided to go ahead to create the new deal.


Special thanks goes to the owner of the NSX that I’m working on at the moment.

I normally don’t want to try something new without testing it first on my NSX but the owner was very generous to give it a try.


Without all of the support from these people, I couldn’t get to this stage.


Bigg Red offers other services such as Electroplating but I’ll touch on the Polymer Coating only, because this is probably the most suitable option for any NSX owners and also the most cost effective solution.


Please visit their website (http://www.biggred.co.uk/index.php) for the available finish and colour options.


After talking to the owner, we decided to go for the black polymer coating.

You can contact them through email (calipers@biggred.co.uk) or telephone (01905 428793) and for both method, I had very pleasant communications.


At the time of writing, the cost is as follows but please note that this may change without prior notice so best to contact them and get the quote.

All prices are inclusive of VAT.
For Front or Rear Callipers: GBP40 per pair
For Front or Rear Brackets: GBP30 per pair
Delivery charge is GBP9.90 for Front or Rear calliper & bracket set. GBP16 for all four set.

To be clear, if you send just the Front Right and Left callipers & brackets, it will cost GBP70 + GBP9.90.

If you send in all four callipers and brackets in one go, you are entitled for 10% discount except for the delivery charge and the overall cost is (40 + 30) x 2 x 0.9 + 16 = GBP142.00 inc. VAT for all four corners to be polymer coated.


Today, I received the package and the result was very impressive.

As I just received them, I can’t comment on the durability but polymer coating will withstand brake fluid, salt, heat etc so in my view, very good deal.


Please allow about 10 – 14days before receiving the completion notice and the request for the payment.


When you send in the callipers and/or the brackets, please make sure to remove all of the internal parts and just send the bare calliper/bracket metal.

This means that you must remove the pistons, bleeder screws, pad springs, rubber seals, rubber boots, parking brake adjuster mechanism (remove the parts - spring/lever - marked in blue as well).

I hope you can get the idea from the attached photos.
