    Default Calipers

    Well I think I'm going to start pricing replacement calipers. Is there any that I should consider over another?

    I'm going to pick up some extended brake lines from Ron at 4wheelingplus.com. So I'll replace the calipers, pads and brake lines all at the same time.

    Yeah I don't want to spend a lot on calipers, and I wasn't planing on changing the rotors. I have a pull to the left under hard breaking, plus the passenger front wheel has locked up during hard braking since it was new. I think the two may be connected, and it's probably the caliper.

    If you do alot of wheeling then I recommend cheapies from Auto Zone.Thats what I've always use.Especially if you mud alot.Mud gets in there a seizes them if you don't keep them cleaned out. I have had a few do that .Thats why I go with cheapos.
