Need Help Probably Bodsy

2011 RR Sport bought from a dealer with new pads and disks all round about 18 months ago. Day after I bought I went on holiday so parked up in multi-storey, got back in a week later and as soon as I got up near 50mph steering wheel vibration. Within a couple of miles this stops so I put it down to moisture on disks and pads(new) after standing for a week.

This happens every time I leave the car for a bit, however I have noticed that if im going 50mph or more and I lightly touch the brakes I get a vibration through steering wheel, if I apply pressure it disappears. I am now/was toying with the idea of using a brake refurb specialist in Long Eaton called BCS who quoted me £186.50 for complete strip down, clean new seals and paint in gunmetal grey (I want black) but when I call them they said oh they are probably 6 pot Brembos so cost goes up to £232 or £430 to have them finished in Black with Brembo put on side of caliper (that escalated quickly) Shocked Shocked Shocked

Not knowing if they actually are 4 pots or 6 pots I call my local indy in Sheffield and he starts talking about a recall on the lower wishbone arm but mainly affected 2010 models, I point out mines a late 2011(September) but he says can still be an issue and if they word it right MIGHT get done under my L+R warranty but I will also need an alignment doing £530 in total.

So here's my quandary:

Are they 4 or 6 pots (Front Calipers)?
I have had the same 2 sets of tyres on since taking ownership (winters and summers) no uneven wear whatsoever which I would expect with a POSSIBLE suspension bush issue for at least 18 months, so is he trying to pull my pants down.
The rear calipers have both been replaced after an issue last year with a sticking one and EPB issue so not them.


What do I do next? The indy also said there is no Caliper service kit for my car but I think there is from the following:

PS sorry for the long post Mr. Green

Nope

The Brembos in the pics are from TDV8 hence why they are 6 pot Brembos so I think mine are 4 pots and not Brembos Big Cry

The kits look like the ones on the link in my original post

From a certain year they all had brembos on the front 2007/2008 maybe.

Just like to say the work that BCS do is unrivalled. I’ve seen a few up close recons done by them, all I can say is they come out far superior compared to brand new. They’re on Facebook and Instagram, and you can see the quality they do.

Dan but the price escalation scared the bejeeez outta me and they started quoting for 6 pots which appears incorrect

So After

establishing I have 2 pots firstly can I upgrade the callipers on their own to 4 pots without any modifications/

Secondly what about the bush idea could that be the cause of the shake under very light braking?
