Mx3 front brake calipers
I am planning to buy new front calipers cause the existing ones are for trush.
So i have found these.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... OTORS:1123
The problem is that it doesn't say if it is for 1.6 or 1.8v6
Is there any difference on front calipers between the two models?

Re: Mx3 front brake calipers
Probably not as the steering ratio is different. But the steering rack is not part of the "Front End" as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Mx3 front brake calipers
So,in front brakes there is no option available for upgrading from v6.The only option is the rear which i don't think will have a big difference.
After all the front brakes plays the important role.

Don't forget that with a rear disc swap you also won't look like a tard if you have rims and drums.

Re: Mx3 front brake calipers
No, there is no easy upgrade for the front. There are a couple of options. One is very difficult but expensive...the other is easier, but very very expensive.

Re: Mx3 front brake calipers
Why not just buy a kit and rebuild your existing calipers. As long as the piston is good and no scratching on the cylinder wall you should be gold. Kits are about $15 at Rockauto.com

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Mx3 front brake calipers
The problem is that when i press the pedal brake the caliper doesn't go behind when the piston goes out.So when the cars goes to stop there is a clicking sound.It's the two pistons that are stuck(Master and slave).I tried to fix it by friction(if i say it correct) the two holes.But i made it worse..The seals were also cut by put in and put out.Daninski wrote:Why not just buy a kit and rebuild your existing calipers.
