Not only had all 4 pistons been re-chromed, but the caliper bores had also been fitted with stainless sleeves, something I wasn't expecting for a $48.00 re-manufactured brake caliper.

They didn't come with pads, but did come with springs, pins and hairpin clips.

Not bad!!!
Not bad at all - in fact that's an amazing amount of work for $48

(Though I bet they split the caliper in two - which upsets some people here!!!)
