Brake Calipers

Im getting squeeling and a catching noise when using my brakes hard, always comes from the front right wheel.

Its a series 1 import so im guessing it has alloy calipers, so im guessing its probably the disks warping.

(when off the brakes long enough to cool down the noise dissapears)

 

My question is...

Will a caliper seal kit help fix this or should i just get iron calipers/new disks?

If so how much would i be looking at?

 

Thanks

Pete

    Calipers warping? You'd have to drop them into a forge to get them to do that. The disks may be warped though.

     

    Noise though probably sounds like the above, a seized piston in one of the calipers, dirt in the pads.

    You have miss-matched calipers then. I'd rather go the complete upgrade and do the rears too. You'll be keeping the brake force in perspective as well as the look.
