front caliper seems to be sticking / dragging - replace or repair? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be jimbo on  Sat Dec 6 16:06 CST 2003 [RELATED]

So you're saying that the rebuilt calipers, new pads and new rotors cured the issue? I kinda felt like that's what I'm gonna have to resort to. I've been using PBR pads that I've been buying from IPD for years (the deluxe...NOT the metal master). The new PBR deluxes aren't as good as the old ones - they dust more, but they're still pretty light in comparison to other pads which dust like mad and make my Virgo wheels look like crapola in no time flat. Anybody know a pad that'll dust less then the PBR deluxe (and still be cost effective) cause if you do then please fill me in. FCPGroton seems to have rebuilt calipers for $38 each which beats the IPD price (IPD always was kinda pricey). ANybody have any experience with these rebuilt Groton rotors? On another note, the Bentley Bible says that you must replace the two mounting bolts found on each caliper because they're designed to be used only once. Does anybody re-use them or should you go ahead and buy the new bolts like Bentley says?
