Oh ok good aha! I know some people make their living off sales. I just didn't want to take food off anyones table, so to speak. Brand is DNS they are rebuilt semi loaded calipers. The grand total is a staggering $866.62 taxes in. But $260 of that is core charges, so $606.62 with your cores (if you can find some ruined legend calipers from a junkyard to give us for cores or something) or if you can't locate legend cores it's $716.62 :/ kinda pricey I'm sure I can get a better price if I talk to the manager (the person I went to for the quote is a tight ass and didn't apply any sort of discount :p), and maybe work something out with shipping.

Holy shit parts are expensive in Canada... I'd take Accords back as cores on legends.

Ya it's pricey for stuff here :p like I said though I can talk to the manager maybe knock a good chunk off that. The counter person wouldn't use my discount, but the manager might allow it. My price was around $560 taxes in

Thanks for the price. Definitely high but sadly we get rocked in Canada.

I'll drive down to Buffalo for a deal Wink

@Mike, which brand were you quoting prices on?

Again... everyone has been a great help

make sure you align the cross on piston the right way. if you didnt before there is a chance why it wasnt working correctly

^Good point.  You need to make sure the little dimple in the pad is in that "slot" in the piston.

Long update.... Mechanic checked out the rears today

Rear caliper he said probably needs replacing, pads and rotors have to go as well

Front pads and rotors are good...

Do I need to replace pads or rotors on all four corners?

If the front rotors and pads are good, then there's no need to replace them.

I'm also in the same boat here. I replaced my front and rear brakes summer 2010, the fronts are wearing fine, the rears have concentric rust rings on the rotors. About 2 months ago I took the rear calipers off, and the slide pins were stuck. I cleaned them off, lubed them up, and re installed. After driving a couple of days, I checked the rear rotors, and the rust rings were getting worn off. I thought I had fixed the problem. Now 2 months later, the problem has returned. Maybe I just need to really lube them up again. Is it worth replacing the slide pins or anything?

You can get the pins pretty cheap. The design of the calipers is poor to say the least.

You may also want to check the rubber boot that covers the slide pin. If it isnt fully sealed off, water and other dirt/debris can seap inside causing the pins to seize up.

I replaced all my rear sliding pin and boot. Those pin also wear out over time.

Anyways update... I bought locally rebuilt OEM calipers
Got them installed with new rear pads and rotors

Now my brake pedal is soft. Braking is good and a lot better if I stomp, but I have to press more than I used to

Shop was saying either the new calipers had a problem or the master cylinder is toast... thoughts? They were leaning to the master cylinder

Sounds odd if the issue wasn't there before I would lean toward what they just changed. That or some air in the lines.
