brake calaper overhall
hi this is kinda a 2 part question
i just installed DA TEG brakes on my ef but the calapers are all rusted and i duno if they work or not so i went 2 partsorce and they want 580$ for new ones all round
is there a way 2 just overhall the ones i allready have ??
new seals and **** like a kit i can buy
2nd question i have air ride on the car and be4 i installed the DA brakes there was clearance 4 the tire 2 go up under the artch now the tire sticks out further and hits the lip cant lower the car at all now
is this because a drum is thin and the rotor is thicker so it sticks out an extra 1/2 inch ??
u used the whole trailing arm all new energy bushings all round civc controll arms and that other little arm at the other end whatever thats called is civic

i heard u can do that but u have 2 get the artches repainted i think
i was thinking why not cut them off compleatcly and weld the 2 together but it wont be as solid wil bend simply
i did it with a baseball bat and a jack on my ek
jack the car up put the bat in there let the ebrake off lower the jack and then turned the bat until it roled it under
it worked but cracked the paint like it would anyways

i just bought 1 brand new caliper front driver side, cost me 67 bucks, and they charge a additional 35 bucks for core charge, once you bring back your old ones you get your money back.

parts source = biggest rip off...go to a real supplier and get calipers shoudl be real cheap...parts source is a fake supplier they are the same price as ct which is a rip I go to my local supplier and get parts cheap from dudes who know what they are doign cause they supply shops around town
