Rebuilding old brake calipers vs upgrading.

[Wolamute]

Thoughts?
I recently started hearing signature sounds of a warped brake rotor in the front, or so i thought.
While changing pads I noticed my driver's side caliper could use rebuilding... So should i go cheap and repair/spruce up these old calipers, or go q45(or z32) front brakes setup?

Keep in mind i have stock SE wheels... and don't plan to drop money on new wheels.

again, penny for your thoughts?


before you flame, yes i did (of course) resurface my year old cheapy rotors, yes i realize that they might be warped regardless of resurfacing.... however its obvious a rebuild is needed. Gotta say, i am seriously annoyed at this damned scraping sound. (not to mention the timing rebuild im going to need soon.)

If you can upgrade, then why not?

That being said, a rebuild kit for the stock calipers is like $5.

Z32 calipers. They fit under yur SE wheels. I know because I had my SE wheels on when i put my 300zx calipers on.

q45 can be had for 30$ j30 about the same either way youll need to redrill and turn the rotors. if your counting change then rebuild them then again you can buy rebuilt ones from your local parts store for like 16$ each and they are basically new and pretty again. also you can get rotors for next to nothing from someone on craigslist i sell mine for 5$ each if you anywhere near orlando ill give you a set for free.
