Default Brake Question and Misc.

Well got the booster out. Master cyl. was ok but the booster was not. Replacing them both anyway. Also found the LR caliper was leaking. Looks like awhile, (seems I was blind). :cool:

Now should I replace both the rears? The RR isnt leaking but seems rather stiff. These brakes have been the worsed brakes I have ever had and with this new motor, I would like to have some faith in stopping this beast!.

How can I tell if these are orginal Calibers and if they are should I keep them for being orginal?

And does anyone know where I can get Hawk Brake pads, dont seem to be able to find them locally.

Thanks.

I always replace calipers in pairs, so that's what I would do. I don't know about Hawk pads, but I've had very good luck using the plain old organic "stock" pads.

Good luck :cheers:
