Reviews of Raybestos brake caliper

I have them on all 4 corners of my truck, 3yrs no issue. They bled like any other caliper.

i have installed these with no issue, it was just as easy to bleed as a regular single bleeder caliper.

I put on a set of GX460 Raybestos front caliper about 3 years ago. The were galvanized, but I did a second coating of high temp silver (cured in my oven) - they still look brand new.The Raybestos discs sucked and I got vibration within 18 months. New set of Brembo discs and Ake Bono pads a cured that.The 460 upgrade is super cost effective and gives tons of stopping power

Raybestos calipers. Actual garbage in a box. Blown out seals stripped out banjo bolts. Even a cracked caliper.

Honestly the new caliper was cheap (also used Raybestos Element3), and the discs/pads are the same price as the 470. That said, there is zero difference in feel most of the time. I don’t get comments about ‘sporty’. The discs are just thicker and calipers a bit wider to suit, pads are exactly the same. The added mass means they don’t get heat soaked as quickly, but for regular use they felt the same. The big difference some people might feel is the difference between new/old pads/discs plus fresh brake fluid and new flex lines - that makes a huge difference.

As mentioned above you can replace the soft goods in your caliper with a kit. Another option is to buy a rebuilt caliper. They are not very expensive. I bought Raybestos recently. Given the age of your vehicle that's what I would do.

Most parts from a reputable rebuilder such as Raybestos will be just fine. I've found aftermarket can be superior in some ways to "OEM" as well, since it's fairly likely that Motorcraft rebuilds those calipers, too.

If you're at all mechanically inclined, or have a friend who is, you can get Raybestos premium calipers (both left and right), front pads (left and right) from Rockauto.com for ~$275 shipped, and you'll get ~$50 back after returning the cores.

I must clarify that the calipers are Raybestos Professional Grade units FRC3167 and FRC3168 (L and R rears). Got them at rockauto.com, and it doesnt say if they're rebuilt, but I'm sure they are
