Brakes!, Rebuild? Replace? Upgrade? Opinions welcome. Options

[Welby3]

Took the teener out for a quick spin to the gas station down the block to put fresh gas in it since it had been sitting for the last few years...

(see back story on that here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=193477&hl= )

And, aside from rekindling my love for the car, I confirmed my earlier suspicion that at least two of the calipers are seized up. probably 3.

So, Should I just rebuild them, go for a new caliper, upgrade? What are other people doing, etc. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm the new kid in class, so any advice is cool.

It's a '73/1.7

Try bleeding them to make sure the rubber hoses still flow normally ....... if they are blocked, that would cause pad dragging on the rotors or 'pulling' ......... if you want to save money ... replace the rubber lines .... check the master cylinder for leaks .... bleed the whole system and if needed rebuild the calipers ..........

If you want to upgrade further, there are a ton of things that you can do .... much of it depending on the budget ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
