detjoe Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 So I was riding home and lost all brakes on the freeway...fun in after work traffic. Figured I lost maybe a line. Ran tbe rest of the stop signs home. Pull it apart and I shot a piston out of the caliper, lost a puck. Inside face of rotor is done, rotor is done! Been nursing this along since I got it, was scored and never really got a good mating of the pads and rotor. Dust boots. Carlson 41290, need a set for each side. $10 Caliper pistons. RBperformance. $138 Pads. Autozone wtf? Duralast DG1419. $59.99 Rotor surface. R-baer 136-6910312. L-136-6920312. $282.50 ea Total-773.95 Still trying to run down better deal on the rotors. The caliper pistons will be stainless and are better that be stock aluminum ones. Will post pics later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 That sucks, I don't even want to know what it will cost me if any of my brake stuff fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Weren't you running the two piece front rotors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) yep, two piece rotors...not cheap update; not going to rebuild both caliper using the SS pistons, it was $130 EACH side...found a part from Harmonclassics (ZO6 caliper kit 170931868523) on ebay to rebuild one caliper, pistons, seals and dust boots for $79. So I will only have to rebuild one side and do pads on both. Still have to call Baer and upload pics...mudt have lost my ability to post pics when the demoted me from MOD Edited November 3, 2015 by detjoe (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blew a piston on the drive side front caliper and lost a puck as well. I had to ride the emergency brake all the way home and was scared shitless.. I even tried pumping the brake which didn't do much at all. I'm not sure if I should just get new calipers or what now. I was also getting uneven wear on my pads like yourself.. I'm not sure if the new style brackets will help with this problem or not. Not sure if I should go with new calipers or just get a new BIG brake kit.. Pretty pricey decisions to make.. Keep us posted on anything you find out or decide to do. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
