Took my 07' G35X Sedan for service. Tech says 1 front and 1 rear caliper is sticking. They recommend replacing all four calipers, as they are typically replaced in pairs.

I'll get a second opinion for sure. In the meantime, thoughts on the Powerstop kit? Seems to be front & rear rebuilt calipers powdercoated red, along with pads/rotors/fluid for $850ish... seems like a decent deal.

I saw some "akebono" 14" kits... though they seem to price around $1,400 - so a lot more. Is there a better option than Powerstop for about the same money ($850ish or less)?

Thanks!

 

They need to grease the slide pins, that's why the caliper sticks.

If you upgrade to Akebono you will also need the rotors for them.

There is also the option of rebuilding the existing calipers.

It's usually about $75 for the rebuild kit (comes as a pair either front or rear) compared to spending several hundred for essentially the same thing.

However any tech that's recommending you to replace the caliper because it's sticking... I'm seriously questioning the integrity of whatever shop you took the car to. It's almost ALWAYS the slide pins that cause it to stick and you fix it by putting new grease on them.
