Went to the junk yard the other day to get a new dust boot when i saw a few wrecked 300's and i asked the guy how much for the calipers and he told me 45 a piece ( and he tried to charge me 15 for the boot ). Is there any way that i can test them and see if they are good????

Thanks

It frequently works.

If you're the dishonest type, go for it.

i was curious i know some people redrill rotors when doing the z32 brake conversion but will it crack or brake under hard braking? i'm going to be tracking the car but i can't afford the hubs yet. i just don't want the rotors to give when i'm on the track (button willow, streets...etc..).
