I went to the pick a part the other day and managed to find myself some Q45 front calipers for 40 dollars. All the rubber boots have no cracks or any rips. Do you think it's necessary for me to rebuild these or should it be good to put on the 240?

Anyways, you'll definitely find out if they need to be. I just bit the bullet and used my junkyard ones as cores for new ones. I feel much bettter about doing that, not to mention safer.

Also, make sure you have the mounting bolts. Those are a b**** to find. They're very special, no hardware store has them, and even the dealer was sold out. So you better find some at the junkyard. J30 bolts will work too.

Rebuilding calipers is a breeze. Just do it
