Title says it all really. At least one of the calipers seems to be seizing up whilst driving and also getting really hot! So hot that you can't touch the wheel as its also red hot, this is the drivers side front one.

The others dont seem as hot.

If i just drive round town abit its not too bad but after being on the motorway for about 10 mins the steering wheel will start to vibrate pretty bad and also a strange humming/rumbling noise will start. But like i say this only happens after about 10 mins driving, before that its fine.

So does this sound like a seized caliper? Also is there anyone that will refurb the calipers or shall i just do it myself?

Yes it sounds like the calipers are sticking , its a common fault with these , if you don't sort it , it can warp the discs with the heat

We can supply you fully reconditioned 4 pot calipers for £235 a pair on an exchange basis , or supply you stainless steel pistons and a full seal kit for £109.99

Yeah i don't think i'll be driving it now until ive fixed them, i don't wanna ruin the discs as i know there not cheap to replace!

Do you know if the STi brembo calipers will fit over the 335mm discs ok if i were to upgrade to them?
