Owner reviews for brake caliper

My brakes were so poor I got the Lexus four pot conversion for the fronts but didn't want to space the wheels out so ended up rebuilding the originals. There were 4 seized pistons out of 6 so I honed the bores and put +1mm oversized stainless ones in with new seals, pins and pads. I went for slotted discs but they are a lot noisier.

To resolve the caliper problem, the option choice is change all caliper pair with the model: caliper rear Right POWER STOP L5398 45.21mm / 328mm rotor caliper rear Left POWER STOP L5399 45.21mm / 328mm rotor this caliper match my Van...

Replace them with OEM GX460 calipers, rotors, and brake pads. As an '09 GX470 owner, I did mine several months ago - best braking experience I ever had. Rockauto is a great place to buy stuff at best prices. I bought CV axles made by cardone from them - $90 each. They run great on my GX.

Just make sure it’s for a GX460 from 2010-2013 or 14 cause they slightly changed in later years and it won’t mount up to the 470. I just did mine about a month n half ago with the OEM calipers pads and rotors and they’ve been great so far

I bought used akebonos work awsome, way better than stock, stopping performance is substantially better.

They were almost a direct bolt-on, just needed to change the rubber brake hose because the fittings were a different thread.

I've recently upgraded to Girlng 60 calipers and feel a bit uneasy about the pad to rotor size difference. The discs on your car are 280mm. The Audi discs that the Girling 60 caliper came off of are 276mm but slightly thicker.

Painting the calipers on an S2000. The only long part of the job was supposed to be waiting for the paint to dry. Instead, we somehow missed the whole "left versus right" thing when reinstalling the calipers and spent the entire night trying to get the brakes bled.

A couple weekends ago I first tried to tackle the issue with the brake pedal nearly hitting the floor while driving, I figured it was do to the brakes needing to be bled, so on a weekend I put the car up in the air, proceeded to snap both bleeder screws on the calipers, swap on used ones off my red 16v and bleed the brakes.

Rear Lucas calipers always worked ok-ish after each "fix". But that was never a long term solution. Worked fine for a month, sometimes a year or two. Just a never ending dragging story, uneven pads wear, pads cut at an angle, heat induced accelerated rust of disc and back plate.
