Caliper Choices

[eliask08]

Hi everyone,

I am in need of new pads and rotors, and may have to replace my calipers as well (I believe I have a seized piston in either fronts). I would like to see what choices there are. I do like the Stoptech ST-40 (front) and ST-22 (rear), but don't want to pay the price. Are there any other choices than OE's or the stop tech? I will be using EBC 7K greens for the pads, and non-slotted/non-crossdrilled rotors (most likely OE rotors).

Thanks,

Elias

Why not check your calipers out and see if either one is actually frozen?
And if one is, just free it up and see what happens.

You mean completely compress and decompress it? Does this actually work? A side note, are the remanufactured ones at Napa any good?

Yes. Sometimes and yes, the Napa remans are pretty good.

you could try putting some tundra calipers and rotors on also.

Do the tundra ones work/fit out of the box? Are they bigger/work better?

The Tundra upgrade is more of a 3rd gen thing... Your 4th gen Sport already has 13.2" rotors. An SR5 has the 12.6" rotors. A few have put Sport calipers and rotors on the SR5. It's a straightforward, simple "plug-n-play" upgrade for 4th gen SR5s.

You already have 'the good ones'.
