Aint it funny how you go into a brake centre to get your calipers freed and expect to pay $100 and get a quote that reads $360!!!

That's what happened to me today!!!! I can't afford it and it's too much work to overhaul the calipers myself and all that needs to be done is an overhaul on front calipers and disc machining!!!

I got quoted some crazy amount of money to get one of my calipers rebuilt.  I pissed that idea off and ended up getting a good caliper at pick a part for $25!

Take your disks off yourself and take them to get machined... That'll save u some more cash!
