Arrrrrrrr Brake help needed
 

I've noticed a couple of times lately that the brakes on my Type-R sometimes start to get firm after a long drive.....?

Well it did it yesterday so I check the wheels and noticed that the rear nearside brakes were very hot and smelt....

I'm guessing the piston is seizing but I did adjust the handbrake the other day.... any ideas....

If it is a piston... anyone know where I can get a seal kit for a 2-pot rear caliper?

Got a week to sort it as I really don't want the sell the car with this issue.

Cheers Bibo

try David at APi

i had same problem with my n/s rear caliper
rang david and he delivered me a perfect 2nd hand one the next day

cant remember the price off hand , think it was around the 65 quid area
this was 2 years ago though , may be a bit dearer now (or cheaper ;) )

Cheers Scooby D....

Was that for a 2-pot caliper?

try paul at extreme

i'm sure Paul will have one kicking around....

if not, get him to take the rear brakes off that dodgy blue/black STI sitting there. The owner wont need them!!! lol :)
