Default front calipers siezing

Is this a common problem on the impreza? Mine seem to be sticking which is giving me a horrible vibration through the car and steering wheel.

Can anyone recommend where to get them done at a reasonable price?

Thanks

Yep, very common problem. The chrome wears off the standard pistons, corrodes then they stick.

Godspeed brakes will sell you anything from a DIY kit with stainless pistons right through to new callipers. 01656 723060 They know their stuff.
