i cracked my rear caliper and need to replace it, wondering if there is any other options for the rear? i have a brembo on the front, but i don't think there are brembos for the rear for the stock size 11" rotors ? but I'm also trying to stay i the budget of say 350-400 for the pair. i think stock one is about 140 each ??

but it doesn't have to be a brembo, as long as it looks better than the stock rear calipers, 1 piston is fine, rears don't need anything powerful anyways.

 

No other calipers available for the stock rear brakes that I've seen.

There are aftermarket large brake kits but they are well north of 300-400 bucks.

As to the cost of new rear calipers, I'd pick a reman up at the parts store, the rear calipers are all the same from 2005 on up to 2013, V6, GT and GT500.

 

I've never heard of a caliper cracking before. If I'm not being too intrusive I'd really like to know how that happened.

 

^ Me too

 

I would probably use my warranty?

 

I would guess it would be the result of a wreck, curbing or something similar, something not covered under warranty.

 

wheel, curb, rotor hit caliper, crack.

 

it happenes

 

Ah, now I see grasshoppa!

 

**** - rotor, axle, excitor ring, caliper - nasty!

And to bad somebody doesn't have a nice single piston caliper for the rear. It may be cost effective, strong and lightweight ( dont know about strong or lightweight - but I'll throw TRW a bone) but the rear calipers are some of the worst looking I've ever seen. I much prefer the PBR calipers used on the SN95/New Edge cars.

My vote for best single piston caliper goes to the 370Z every bit as good as thier fronts which are as good looking as any brembo caliper.
