Re manufactured brakes... Thoughts

[Dapperz]

So with my car build I need all new everything it seems with my suspension. I've scoured the forums and interwebz and have found a reman brake on CarID. They are A1 Cardone re-manufactured GSX calipers that I would like to put on my GST. I've read this can be done easily and wanted thoughts on reman calipers?

Yeah, that's fine. I have remanned GSX calipers from rock auto. Make sure it's for the same generation of course.. 1gs are flare fitting brake lines, 2gs banjo bolt

I've used reman calipers on half a dozen cars I've owned, never any problems except for one leaky piston seal, so I got a new piston and seal kit from Autozone for $8. As long as the caliper core the reman company used isn't cracked or marred, and they don't use junk rubber compounds, it should be just like new. Often all they do is sandblast good junkyard calipers, put in new rubber and slap em in a box along with new hardware.
