ah I was reading and didn't check the dates, nice to see it worked and it sounds good! More info on the swap would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like it, yes.

Thanks! Ok, rear pads are barely worn (there's a smidgen more on them than my new semi-metallic pads), and from the looks of it, my parking brake has plenty of pad left, but the cylinder wall is a very slightly bit pitted where moisture pooled up. Not nearly as bad as the front was, but...

Valid points, the corrosion isn't deep enough for that, but the idea of the entire caliper cracking is conceivable. I wish I had tested my master cylinder after a brake bleed but I suppose assuming it's in comparable condition is a safe bet. Any advice on what company to go with for these...

I figured it was some sort of issue like that, and yes...I didn't just pull airbag suspension out of my ass for sake of discussion... I do however wonder why cars like ours couldn't have a setup to allow temporary height adjustment to move easily over parking entrances and speed-bumps without...

Could I get more tips on if the caliper cylinders could actually explode? As IJ. mentioned they will seal fine. I'll likely replace the master cylinder, and thought my caliper cylinders would be fine but...that comment about them potentially exploding worries me...lol. Also, are both...

That's what I was thinking. Thanks Ian. I'll definitely clean the cylinders, or were you talking about the master? Looking at Rock Auto their prices are SUPER cheap, I could get a reman beck-arnley or wagner master cyl. that's new for $101 shipped! BLOW APART? What makes you think they'd...

OK, here are images of one cylinder, I haven't looked at the others yet. To me it seems that fluid will get up to the seal anyway, so the pitting won't effect the seal or performance, it will merely take a few drops of fluid to fill....right? I will replace the master cylinder unless there's...

I'll take some images of the cylinders and post them this evening. I haven't checked the master though... I have suspicions from when I was driving that it leaks internally, because I depressed the pedal and held it while the car was running and it eventually goes all the way to the floor when...

well, it's not specs, on the one i have apart, it looks like an isolated spot, and it would depend on your definition of deep. Fingernail catcher for sure, but not more than a mm deep. It's still below the rubber seal though, so come to think of it, if the rubber seal does all the holding like...

What's so cool about not having air bags?

Maybe I'm not understanding this right, but the rubber seal for my piston is in the cylinder wall, the piston is just that; no rubber unless you count the dust boot, which doesn't provide any pressure seal.

I'm guessing it's not good but I'm not sure if I need to get a new/reman. set of brake calipers, the cylinder was sludged up and has some residue on the walls, and the pitting is about halfway down into the cylinder. I'm not familiar enough to know if this is of much concern. I have the new...

Well, looks like the return would be kinda tricky since the supplier is not a store, it would be a warranty thing. So I either machine them both or send 'em back and get another pair locally. Probably the same price. So irritating...

i'll have to work on it more later, i'm on the wrong computer & it's finals week. :P

WOOO that was fun. :) I just did some interesting colors, tell me what you think. I like quick PS work. If you have a specific request hit me up.

What colors do you want? I will upload a few but give me a starting place, i've got the photoshop file ready to change hues.

I added mini-toms to one of my floor toms. I made them out of plastic Folgers coffee cans, and besides the first and smallest, I cut up consecutive cans and taped them together to make four different tones. Worked surprisingly well... He is pretty good. =P

wow...uhmm... If that broken leg really was caused by trying to keep him there, then that's not too unreasonable. If they're retaliating in revenge, that's just stupid. Can't say what I'd do, but I hope it was merely to keep him from getting away with it and not just brutalizing him. I...

Thanks for your opinion, that's pretty much how I feel. They are the cheaper OEM replacements, which I figured would be fine seeing as how it's just my commuter car, I do have some middle-grade pads. I sent my buddy a message, I just hope I can get them returned or my effort to save money will...
