Default OEM CALIPERS OR AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT

Hey guys,
Just realized a few days ago my car was shaking for no apparent reason since my wheels are not bent,tires are fine and suspension is fine as well. After having it diagnosed by my friend he realized my front drivers side wheel wasn't spinning as freely as the other. After taking the brakes apart we realize the one caliper is almost seized causing that brake pad to be worn out pretty bad compared to the others. I'm not a tech but he recommended I just replace it so I'm taking his advice. My question is should I get oem calipers or after market ones like centric,cardone,beck arnely etc. I'm currently running stoptech crossdrilled/slotted rotors and am very happy with them so I'm not shy about getting away from oem if its a good thing. I'm not getting a big brake kit cause my current wheels are a little aggressive and they wont fit besides I wouldn't use the bbk to its potential so would be a waste of money to me.


Thanks

OE Replacement are usually just rebuilt OEM calipers. They're not particularly expensive, or special, but they sure get the job done. The rears are more expensive. To prevent this in the future make sure you change your brake fluid no later than once every 3 years regardless of mileage, or 36,000 miles whichever comes first.

I'd go with with OEM Nissen calipers. You can do a core exchange for your used calipers and get a fresh rebuilt set. I did it with my rears.

went through Majestic Honda. They're super easy to deal with.
