Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Enhanced Performance Front Calipers - Power Stop S2698 by Greg Hammett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great but the caliper bolts arrived stuck.

I believe the original front brake caliper was sticking on the driver's side of my 2006 Toyota Corolla because the rotor on that side was about 20 degrees hotter than the passenger side. I bought this kit to replace both front calipers. Packaging, shipping and the fit of the calipers were great. It was also a great price for a set of two (which made me wonder if it was a cheap fake). This seems to have solved my problem as the calipers work well, the braking distance is long and the temps on my rotors have evened out (so I don't think they are sticking anymore). These calipers come with caliper hardware, caliper bolts and caliper bushings (which I didn't read or notice prior to purchase as I bought the bolts and bushings locally while they were on the road). My only concern is that the caliper bolts come with bolts that are tightened to the caliper. Hardware. Whoever (or whatever machine) tightened those bolts at the factory made them INCREDIBLY tight. I figured I'd get the bolts on the floor before setting up the hardware and oiling all the parts. I ended up putting the entire caliper on the car to hold the caliper in place while I loosen those bolts. I thought it might be a bolt or two, but both bolts on both calipers were CRAZY tight. They must learn to "hold their hands". I ended up throwing away the screws and bushings they provided as I didn't trust them anymore. Instead I used the screws I bought above. Otherwise I am completely satisfied with this purchase. They've been in the car for about a month now and I've had no problems.
