Default Brakes!
Hey Guys,
I need to buy new calipers. What would you guys suggest for under 300 for the fronts? I let my S sit for too long and the calipers locked up and I had to take them apart and re-greased them for a quick little fix. I would love Project MU but there's not a budget. Also, has anyone ever heard of "Power Stop"? Are OEM worth going for? What are you guys using?
Thanks,
Max 52

Why do you need calipers? Clean the stock ones. They are fine.

I have a new rebuilt Centric caliper on my front left. Its beautiful and perfect. I recommend that over any of the autozone off brands.
