Replacing rotors and pads soon with OEM parts from Tasca. Car has 121k, for an extra $120 per axle I can replace the calipers with OEM from Tasca as well. Whilst I don't want to be wasteful I am apt to look at this from the perspective of 1. I dont have to worry about cleaning the slide pins, 2. don't have to retreat the piston.

Am I correct in assuming new slide pins would accompany the new caliper? If so this is a no brainer, I've had calipers fail as short as 140k, would hate to do the job and have the piston sieze this summer.

While I am at it do I ante in the extra cash and get new brake lines, perhaps braided? Changing the calipers I know I am on the hook for power flushing the fluid...will need to get a power bleeder.

Just wanted to get some 2 cents from others.

Thanks,
Steve
