    Any particular reason you want to replace the calipers again? The ones that are on there now are almost certainly in good shape, especially if they were replaced at 35k and it's only got 76k on it now. As a matter of fact, unless something was unusually wrong, they probably didn't really need replacement at 35k, either.
    The drivers side is sticking pretty bad, sometimes it doesn't like to let go of the rotor, sometimes it doesn't like to grab the rotor. Car sat in a garage for quite a while, didn't get used very often, I figured rather than just replace one caliper, I'd go ahead and do 'em both. Heck they were only $18 each.

      Ah, the glories of massively produced American cars - cheap parts! Rotors cost me $35 a pop on a Toyota I had once... never have that problem with these cars! Yours looks really nice. I hope you get your few issues cleared up soon. I had a Ford with the premium sound system and the audio shop couldn't get the stereo I had bought to work because the "built in amp had a bad channel." Dunno if there is any truth to that, but I understand it can be tricky. May want to get more info on that. Otherwise, looks like you've got a real beauty there!

        Thanks Cuck, yeah someone else mentioned the amp too, I'll look into that.

        85crownHPP, sorry I missed your post back there, yeah they're 245/70/15's they rub at full left turn...but not at right. (odd)

        Dadgum things look like truck tires to me!
        To each his own, I think they look WAY too big for the car, but dad had 'em put on, and dad has to have the biggest tire that fits put on everything he's got! Except of course his ZR1! "Gotta stay factory there, boy!"
