i've never seen a bad caliper (but a few members have had bad ones) and brakes definitely are an easy thing to fix. do it yourself and save the money. its a very valuable skill for the future.

heh, i cleaned mine with the degreaser pretty good and then painted the calipers black..... now the paint is chipping off.......

cant you just get some 80 grit sand paper and just sand the caliper a little bit (until the dirt and shit comes off), then clean it, then paint? that would be easier than using the wire brush method

I can Do it, I just lack the equipment and time.

I don't live at home anymore, otherwise it would be much better.

Hell, I don't even have a Tire Iron, I had to borrow that from someone else.

430 included Parts and Labour. so The Pads (40 bucks) the Calipers (95 bucks) and the Rotors and Labour as well, He's the cheapest shop around, but I think the caliper thing is BS.

$411.13 today. Pads, Calipers, Rotors. Plus labour. (Which was only 45 bucks)


I'm poor.


but it runs fairly well. I had him whack a Whole lot of grease to the front end too. about $3.00 worth.
