Direct Stock Replacement Brake Calipers
Did a search for this because brakes are a big issue to most people on cars but couldn't quite find anything involving brake replacement that wasn't performance or big upgrades (switching to nx2000 brakes in the front or all around big brake upgrades).
I plan on keeping the stock wheels, I prefer a sleeper look and the brakes on the 200sx se-r are sufficient imo short of some minor tweaking such as steel brake lines, but my question is this. I have a front-passenger side caliper start failing, it's freezing up and causing very bad brake wear and pulling when stopping and letting up on the brakes while coasting. I stopped by the dealership to pick up a remanufactured stock caliper and found that they don't offer remanufactured ones for the 95-98 se-r's but to buy a NEW caliper, JUST ONE, would cost around $350 after tax. The remanufactured one for the se and some of the sentra's of the same year (same front brakes on most) is only $185 after core, anyone know a reasonably priced decent aftermarket, direct-stock replacement caliper kit for our cars and about what it might cost? Brembo doesn't seem to list theirs on their site and not sure who else I'd trust without spending 1-2k for a four wheel replacement kit including rotors, calipers, pads, pins, etc. which I would prefer not to do for money reasons and the fact that the larger and more potent brakes aren't really necessary other than for looks and track use.
ok..that was a little long but was hoping to be thorough.
