alright, so i need a oem replacement caliper for my gs-r (rear passenger), so i went to autozone.

i purchased two refurbished ones, and BOTH caused my e-brake to lock up, and not release when i released it.

and no, the cables were good, they were not stiff at all, the spring on the caliper was not clicking over to return my wire back to a relaxed position.

1.) i am posting this so no one goes to auto zone to purchase a caliper ever again

2.) i wanna know where i can get one for a fair price, and also how much would a upgrade in a nice caliper set for all 4 wheels cost me?

 

you could find one at a junkyard.

and if you want an upgrade, fastbrakes.com has some good stuff, complete with everything you need.... pads, calipers, brake lines, rotors

hard to find integra parts at a junk yard where im at.

all the good stuff is taken days before you get there

 

why upgrade unless your making that much power integras come with some damn good brakes from the factory usualy all they need is better roters

 

I have an Autozone reman rear driver's side caliper and it has been fine for over 60K miles.

IMHO:

Stock brakes don't need better rotors, but better pads.

The use of slotted and drilled rotors are a much debated topic on these forums. Many racers use cheap stock sized Autozone rotors (I just bought one, $20 for front driver's) but run upgraded pads and brake fluid. They maintain the only better rotor than stock is one with a larger diameter mated to a larger caliper -- and blank, not slotted or drilled.

x2

i have autozone blanks, and hawk ceramic pads.

I guess i just got bad luck...im heading over to a different automotive store today to see if i can find one there that works.

btw, i would never, ever recommend getting a caliper from a junk yard... but thats just imo
