Rear Caliper Seized-Options for brake Upgrades??
Rear Caliper Seized-Options for brake Upgrades??
I bought the car in February and the rear passenger caliper seized up on me.
The same caliper has froze up on me again.
What are my options for a brake upgrade? I would like to upgrade to the Brembo brakes but do I have to replace lines too or can I get away with just swapping Calipers, Pads and Rotors?
What other Big Brake Kits are available and also reasonably priced?
Its on my 2003 5AT Coupe.

It is pretty common for the calipers to seize up. If you get the gold brembos you swap those directly. Commonly now people are going with the Akebono BBK which are very well priced.

You can always upgrade to the 05-07 stock brakes for cheap. Brembos will require their own lines, rotors, and pads which can get expensive. Also like Hoss said above you can get a full Akebono set up with everything you need from a couple of vendors on here for less than $2000 shipped.
The cheapest BBK kit I c could find is a Wilwood set on ebay. Here's a link to the rears these guys also offer the fronts for a little less.

I search and scour. I just don't know anything about brake upgrades.
