One other thing: SLIDER PINS. Stock calipers front and reas use slider pins that must be lubed, preferably with silicon grease. Usually if a caliper stops working, it is because the slider pins dried out - no lube - and then became scored, so the caliper was unable to open and close properly.

I may even replace the heater hoses at that time (is that advisable?) ANYWAY, I have a brake question. it feels like I may have a dragging brake. and mileage is down a bit. I think I can jack the car up (again, when the snow and ice melts the rest of the way), and turn the wheels one by one. I feel more decel than normal when I let off the gas. So the brakes are also pulsing so I was thinking to just buy rebuilt calipers and new rotors and go with the Hawk street pads as discussed earlier. What has been the experience with auto store rebuilt calipers? Also, are there different rotors avail, and do some resist warping more than others? This is a daily driver plus I tow a trailer occasionally with it, believe it or not. In about a year I do plan to build another V8 Miata using the FM subframe etc and undecided whether Ford (very cheap) or Chevy (very good) power. = _______________________________________________ iatapower mailing list [email protected] ttp://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
