Calipers

[salomon68]

Hey guys, It's been a while since I've been on so if this has been brought up before, please let me know where.

I'm putting new brakes on my 87 Supra. I have stainless steel brake lines and Brembo OEM rotors. My question is, should I rebuild the calipers I have on there now, or buy remanufactured ones? How hard is it to rebuild?

Thanks!

Not really hard to do, depending on how bad your calipers are. I find that, more often than not, the main thing wrong with original calipers is the slider pins being locked up. Unless the boots for the pistons are torn, the caliper is probably in good shape. If the caliper is bad, or you just want it done, buy the reman'd, and save yourself the time. More than likely, the rebuild kit is probably close to the same price as rebuilt calipers.

they are pretty cheap 200 dollars for all 4 remanufactered ones...
