[QUOTE="Rocsteady, post: 1473815, member: 40232"] unless calipers are failing, no reason to replace. I was a service writer for 14 years and I think I saw two actual failed brake calipers the entire time. Used to really point out how dishonest some of the shops like STS were when they had hundreds of calipers in stock for the most popular vehicles on the road in any given area. We'd have people turn down a pad change and rotor resurface and come back after STS told them they needed new pads, rotors, calipers, lines, etc. Suddenly the $300 or so we said the car actually needed looked pretty good next to the thousand plus that these rip off places were pushing. Don't get me wrong, lots of dealerships are the same but I couldn't work that way. Haven't seen one in a while but it used to make me want to vomit when I saw "It's a trust thing" on the STS advertisements. What a crooked outfit... [/QUOTE]
