I swapped pads and rotors last week and my calipers are in pretty rough shape. In its previous life, car spent a couple of years on the blocks after serious mileage was put onto it. Calipers have a tremendous buildup of brake dust that fused all over the inside of caliper housing. I had to grind down the housing to drop pads in, and they are still binding. Instead of further grinding down the calipers, I am thinking of just replacing them. Does anyone have a set in decent condition for sale? Since I just got brand OEM new rotors, upgrading is not an option. Thanks!

I've got an extra front caliper set. In decent shape. What about having yours rebuilt? ... not to send you spending your money elsewhere but I am a nice guy :)

Here is my set...

Thank you Mr. Nice Guy! I did not realize them caliper things are so darn expensive. I think I'll just grind mine down to make space for pads and leave it at that. Thanks again.
