should have just gotten rebuilt once

They would have not been oem that way. I talked to the local parts stores, and the brands they offered were not that great.

ok, i dont know if you know how they do remanufacturing, they take oem rotors, change seals, if needed they check pistons to make sure they are still fine and stuff.
they dont actualy do new calipers from scratch.

i think Tim got reman and no problems with those

[Mike]

yeah i got a good deal also but, your right.

[Mike]

You had suggested that I replace some seals in mine, and sent a link can you take a look at the link you sent me and see what parts the seals are.

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

^^problem is that it didnt give part numbers for seals. id call acura dealer and see if they can order them

[Mike]

was going to Bretts house and on way there seen new TL. guess what, it has 2 piston calipers

The installation of these calipers doesn't effect the ABS in any way correct?

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

no it doesnt effect abs. it still works if you realy slam on brakes(jst like with regular calipers)

[NVA-AV6]

Should be picking up your caliper kits this afternoon Mike, right now the calipers are cooling down from baking.....

[Mike]

no it doesnt effect abs. it still works if you realy slam on brakes(jst like with regular calipers)

I know that ABS works with them I was wondering if steps should be taken to ensure the ABS sesnsors and things are okay I've never replaced a caliper.

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

you dont touch sensors when you replace calipers so i dont think it would be a problem
