my SE-i rear calipers are toast

should i

A.) rebuild teh bitches

B.) get new ones for $100 a pop at autozone?

i already have pads (ceramic baby whoooooooooooooooooooo) and e-brake brackets so they need not be loaded

suggestions

i am in the same boat as you. my sei shit is all seized up. Personally I will probably just buy empty calipers so I know everything is happy. :) Luckily I am not to that phase in my swap yet so I can put it off lmao!

we can use the 1st gen legend rear calipers also with a lil modding ...its kinda true...one of my rear calipers feels like it drags on the rotor...cuz i have drilled and sloted and i can hear it once in a while. I need new Calipers....how much for new legend ones.....might as well upgrade IMO

Try to take them apart. See the condition of the piston. If it is not scratched up,rebuild, if it is then get new calipers.

My brother and I rebuilt mine. Before i got the kit i took them apart to see if they were ok, luckily they were.
