Rear Calipers

[vtecpang]

I need a pair of rear calipers prior to MOT and was wondering if Blueprint parts would suffice as a replacement?

I'm sure the rears aren't Brembro's


Anyone advise further?

cheers

Whats the problem with the rear calipers just out of interest?

Sqeaking when breaking and reversing - I've already checked the pads on one side and theres plently left
Not had a chance to look at the other side. I will say that theres no equal wear on the disc which leads me to think seized calipers

The mechanic will let me know what needs replacing. Just trying to get a heads up to order the parts

The slides can seize on the caliper which will cause uneven wear which can then lead to squeaking...

If this is the case you can just re-grease the slides and free them off.

Quite common on alot of cars.

The std rears are not brembos, if you get blueprint replacements they will not be red (as they will be civic calipers)

Thank again

I'll give the Honda dealers a call to comapre the prices of the OEM vs blueprint unless someone already knows
