REPLACE/REFURBISH FRONT & REAR BRAKES

[ahmed-abrar]

Arrived last week finally, off to Westfield Motors tomorrow for them to finish the installation

isn't the key to caliper longevity just to make sure they are routinely checked over and " simply serviced " every time you have a service on the car ?

Mine have never been replaced in 25 years and 232k miles ..  just checked over, adjusted and ensured to function correctly at each service

I have full Lexus service history until I bought it nigh on 10 years ago and there's no mention of caliper replacement at all

Very True, I hope also to follow the same processes  until its sold in the future & who every takes it on will have years of issue free brake performance ( subject to the usual maintenance requirements)

its been a few weeks now since caliper & discs replacement, everything is working fine, pedal feel has improved noticeably, stopping power is good (all limitations allowed for)
