So I've been doing a number of searches and running around my town to try and find a rebuild kit for these calipers. I just want them in tip top shape. All new seals and everything. I cannot find a decent kit that has every seal in it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? The calipers are off of a G50.

Thanks in advance.

I was looking too, but then just decided to get rebuilt ones. I just used my old ones as cores. Much better imo, you have brand new brakes.

Yea I'm thinking I might have to go that route. But that's another $60 and I still need rotors and pads. We'll see I guess.

I got my rotors and pads from my local Checker (aka Shucks/Kragen). Great prices and the quality was good too. I was surprised.

My brakes don't squeak one bit. I was very satisfied. Unless it's a full track car, there's no need for expensive rotors/pads.

Go to the Infiniti dealer and get the piston rebuild kit, or as AZ said, buy the remanufactured.

Yea I figured OEM level pads and rotors are more than adequate. Apparently remanufactured calipers after cores are still ~$130 which is a tad too much until payday. My local Infiniti dealer apparently can't do anything for me? I don't know what that story is about but whatever.

Thanks

Same here. I just went to a local brake shop and they hooked me up. The dealer is usually overpriced anyways.
