Rear calipers
Anybody know of a cheaper alternative to the Dealers asking price of $300 for a single rear caliper? Its a 94 SS, and I know there must be a cheaper alternative, even if I have to replace both at once. Or, if anybody has a good one they could part with let me know! Winter is here in VT, and a dragging rear brake is causing me to get a bit squirrelly going straight!

Re: Rear calipers
Seems like you might be able to score remanufactured ones from the auto-part chain stores.

If no luck on that, then post a WTB ad in the classifieds.

Re: Rear calipers
The turbo legacy calipers are slightly wider to accept the rear vented rotor. As mentioned I'd suggest the reman'd caliper or a used one. Your other option would be to replace the calipers and rotors with one from a non-turbo car. The non-turbo car has a solid (non-vented) rear rotor.

Re: Rear calipers
No luck on anything remanned around these parts, Subaru claims to have 3 left in the country, and I refuse to downgrade. However I did regrease the piss out of the sliders, and have gone over 100 miles with no issues so far. If it lasts through our hard VT winter then I can deal with the higher prices in the spring. I was just unsure as if any newer models shared similar setups, since there are numerous wrecked Subaru's every year around these parts.
Re: Rear calipers
if you don't want to down grade then that means up grade Go over to NASIOC and try to find some WRX 2- pot rear calipers and rotors, if you are lucky u should be able to find someone trying to get rid of them for pretty cheap. FYI you will need to get an adapter bracket to make them fit I believe. Just sayin it's an option and a route that I plan on going eventually.

Re: Rear calipers
take your caliper all apart (piston out) and clean everything and reassemble.

Re: Rear calipers
Just an FYI if you do upgrade to the 2-pot calipers they will not fit under the stock 15" wheels.
