reman rear brake calipers
 

Anyone have good experience with reman rear brake calipers like cardone ultra, power stop, etc. instead of buying oem seals or oem reman calipers for track duty. Been reading positive and negative stories about brands.

I may just end up rebuilding the rear calipers myself with seal kit and new piston (if needed) but since it is so cheap for the remanufactured ones I wanted to give a try.

I also felt a company doing the rebuild would clean and rebore the cylinder better than I could in my garage.

Rebuilding rears is a little more complicated than the fronts. Buy some remans, maybe even the Power Stop ones that are powdercoated, and be done with it.YMMV.

One of my rears was sticking, ( I had rebuilt and powdercoated them myself ) I bought some remans from Rock Auto and never looked back.

I now have the remanufactured, powdercoated PowerStops on the front and they were without issue this past weekend. I wasn't too excited about the red powdercoat but they held up and do add some color to my car.

Good to know. I decided to just rebuild rears my self for learning process. In the future this is good to know though. Btw saw you and the other s2ks at NJMP this last weekend while driving through paddock. Nice to see a good s2k crowd competing in nasa. I also saw the famous youtuber jackieding doing a pass around thunderbolt paddock and checking out my car lol.

I was the red AP2 running with NASA at Lightning. I stayed in the rooms at Thunderbolt and saw your car parked out there in the morning. Looked great! Lets get you at some NASA events.

I was in my tow vehicle (black Chevy 2500HD) when you were coming off track, I yelled, " nice numbers".

As sickdatracing said, it'd be nice if we could all run with the same organizer. I don't see you on the NYST event list either.

I regret going with remanufactured calipers. I went with the Centric brand, or whatever it is, and they rusted completely and immediately. They refunded my money, but now I'm left with rusted calipers and not my original ones.

Should have painted them then perhaps ?

The remans podercoated by PowerStop and sold by Rock Auto have stood up to 3 days of TT very well. I know the red PC isnt for everyone and isn't necessarily my style but for OEM reliability , performance . looks and price they are hard to beat.

I've got Rock Auto reman on mine and they seem to be holding up fine which is nice, considering I use the brakes too much.
