Brake caliper Brembo or OEM Volkswagen

Brembo Brake caliper

Yeah I dropped to 19s on mine and it's night and day difference for daily driving. Went with 19x8.5 ET45 and 255/50R19 tires - plenty of clearance over the Brembos and the ride is way more civilized. Still looks good too, the 21s were just brutal on city streets

Pros: ride is way more civilized
Cons: 21s were just brutal

Im actually in the middle of working on a unique BBK for my E38 and have been looking at rotor/caliper options, I think this may be a decent option for you-958 Cayenne rear brembos.

Pros: decent option

Took it in to a shop today. They said calliper needs replacing. Rear driver side. Said they will put a new calliper, do a brake fluid flush, readjust the hand brake. I said break flush was done just about 3 months ago. It’s a clean light golden yellow color still. The mechanic said still needs to be done to get air out of the system. Seems logical. They quoted $740+tax. Does that sound reasonable?

Pros: new caliper, brake fluid flush
Cons: high cost quote

I’ve been considering new calipers for my Evo 4 (GSR) as well to replace my stock ones since they’re in pretty rough shape, but the only swap I’ve been able to find that is documented at all is the Evo 5-9 Brembos

Cons: rare and expensive
Vehicle: Mitsubishi

Rating 2.0

Originally thought it was a seized caliper. Car needed a brake job as rotors have corroded away so I replaced calipers, rotors and pads on the front. Symptoms: Caliper on front right doesn't release fully. Audible drag, vibration, heat etc. If i stop and pump the breaks (hard) two or three times it releases (50% of the time). So if it doesn't, pump again. Conversely, light application to the brakes results in the caliper not releasing. Drag strength varies. Sometimes it's slight and causes a slight squeal and light vibration at speed. Sometimes the car won't move when put into drive (it's an automatic).

Cons: caliper doesn't release fully
