Update on Brakes
 
Well I took my car to Just Brakes today and had new pads and the rotors turned and bearings re done etc....come to find out the rotors are fine was the calipers that are messed up or something he said and it messed up the pads. Well getting the calipers re done and stuff woulda ran me 427 dollars so I just had the new pads and rotors turned for 107 dollars today. Well now there not sqweekin at all. So what exactly was he talkin about with my calipers? should i take it back in asap when I have the money or was he just trying to make extra cash?

see if these pads mess up. if so, then you should prolly do something.

the calipers could need a rebuild, basically they get a grove worn in a piston or both and the pads drag the calipers on your car are not cheap (I'm trying to find a set for the gp)

they are pretty cheap. when my piston seal blew on one of my fronts i had it exchanged for a new one for 30 bucks.

for teh newer cars the calipers are $150 or so (the type with a seperate mounting bracket)
