Need to replace my front brake calipers - previuos replaced seals but now the are siezing.
The cost diff between new $275 vs rebuilt $50 is soo soo big I have to wonder!
Has anyone had any experience with "rebuilt" calipers - spec a1cardone ??
the car is a track car so i tend to go new, but heck I can buy 5 for the price of one and they come with a 1 year warrenty.
thanks

My front brake calipers were rebuilt 3000 miles ago. Work great. '89 Carrera. I think there's no need to buy new ones if all the hardware is still in good shape, and if they're only dragging or so.
