IS200/300 Brake Caliper . - uncle bob - 23-07-2020
The n/s/f brake caliper on my IS300 semi-seized the other day, this was the 2nd time this has happened, so seemed a waste of time freeing it off again.
Looked at the options, here are a few upto date dealer prices..
Seal kit..only comes for both front calipers £90.83
Pair of pistons.....£56.38 pair
Full caliper......£270.00
In the end i went for a remanafactured unit by Delphi, its a respected brand and cost me £67.50
I asked what i thought might be a strange question to the motor factor guy, "is the warranty affected if i paint the caliper" ? glad to say its not a problem as its only cosmetic, Caliper now fitted and no sticking brake or a bad wheel wobble at 55mph.

Funny enough you mention BigRed on the other thread,i was looking at BigRed caliper seal kits on Feebay but it was not a brand I've heard of.
