Any direct bolt-on replacement calipers for 4th gen?
Just wondering if anyone has found any non-OEM replacement calipers that are a direct bolt-on for our existing brake set-up. I don't want to buy an OEM caliper or a remanufactured unit from an auto parts store because those are generally just rebuilt from the OEM caliper castings.

I also don't want to spend the money for a complete high performance brake set-up from Brembo, for example. All I'm trying to do is find a regular caliper that will work without having to worry about the pistons seizing inside.

Ideas?

Hmmm.... so we're stuck with calipers that will continue to seize up?

Well I'm not 100% sure but I believe the remanufactured ones are "fixed" during the process. You'll have to wait for someone who knows more about brakes but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.

Interesting.... do you have any idea at all what is done to fix them?

I thought there were a few guys on here who installed remans and they ended up seizing again. I could be wrong about that though...

No sir I couldn't tell you. You may be correct, I just thought I read that somewhere on here. I wish someone else would chime in that has dealt with this issue before...
