I have a quick question for the group. Are there any qualms or reservations against using "unloaded" brake calipers like these and transferring the bits and pieces of your OEM calipers to these calipers? This all assumes you have good pads, of course.
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sku/Pors...8L/A119434.html So are these unloaded brake calipers a bad idea? They seem like a much less tedious alternative to a rebuild kit without too much more money. |

"unloaded" means no pads, pins, or spreader springs.
Look at the braking system as an entire component with many parts. If it's been a long time since parts have been replaced then you need to go master cylinder to caliper and replace or rebuild any suspect parts. If the flex lines look old, then they need to be replaced. There's a good reason you'll find good reviews and personal endorsements about PMB. Don't be "that guy" who asks for advice, then goes the opposite direction only to screw the pooch |
