Brake help...

[Sammy11]

last drive i did , i came home and smell a toxic sent...
also saw that there was smoke comming of the right caliper.

now , afther it cool down i took the wheel off and the wheel is not stuck , i can move it.
but i'm preety sure that the caliper pistons need to be replaced.

we have the OEM here at the shop , but i wanne know if there are aftermarkets that are better ?
try to mail some vendors , but still no answer (only mailed them yesterday)...

do someone know more about aftermarket kits.

From my understanding the OEM rebuild kit is about as good as it gets.

Agreed :rock:

Good thing about the oem pistons is that they are made out of a synthetic resin.
The advantage is that less heat is transferred from the brake pads to the brake oil then with metal pistons. That is the reason i went for oem again.
for the rest it will be regular checks (twice a year with the change of winter to summer tires and visa versa) for me and no high pressure cleaning, never.

unless you wanna spend $8k on a new brake kit, leave it alone and rebuild it
