Has anyone ever bought a brake calipers from Pelican Parts before? I noticed they have front calipers for $100, they are made by ATE. My car is going into the shop tomorrow to get worked on and my caliper has already been rebuilt and if it's not under warranty still I'll be installing a new one myself. http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...FILTER_TOOL=ON __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

My car was built in 1/98 and the vented rotors do not fit my car. Go ahead and ask me how I know… I bought vented rotors for my car thinking they would fit and went to do the brakes and realized the rotor would not fit.. Had to send them back and get the non vented ones. Did some more research and found that vented rotors only work on 3 or 4/98 and on. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

Had good experience with Pelican parts before. ATE makes good brake products. Did you think about the brake upgrade? It might be worthwhile. If you still plan to sell the car soon then I guess minimal cost repairs are best. | | | | | 04-09-2007, 06:22 PM | #9 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |

If i buy used ones i'm sure i'll have to replace them within a year and $100 bucks for a new one is a decent price. Also buying front pads and new rotors, the rears i've never changed and are the original for all i know and there is still about 45% of the pads left. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active
