Hey guys, i posted 3 days ago inquiring about Rotor's. Well you guys steer'd me in the right direction and i picked up these http://waypart.com/parts/details;jse...top&pn=KOE1589 . First of all, if i could get a verification these will work, that'd be great. Secondly, i now need new calipers and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction; as to something that would fit the pads and rotors i just bought.
Much appreciated as always.

Those rotors are only 11.69in, that is the factory size.
You posted the wrong info in the other thread and havent done any research yourself to make sure they are correct.
Our bolt pattern in 5x115, so you need to make sure that those rotors fit our bolt pattern. Otherwise the rotor size is correct and you don't need new calipers.
Cross reference sizes and specs from a napa or autozone website. If all numbers match up, you are good to go.

You could have gotten them $50.00 cheaper from Rockauto, but those are the right ones.
Why do you need new calipers??
The stock calipers are all you need as FFDP said.
don't forget the brake grease.
clean up the brackets and calipers when you have them off and maybe throw a coat of paint on them.

My calipers have a lose bolt on them on both front end tires,i could rethread it but id rather just get new ones to be safe.Originally Posted by spazzz

If your going to go through all that either upgrade to some Fbodys or grab some used caliper from the JY or somthibg

Are you talking about these. You can move the calipers when these are tightened to the bracket, or is the bracket loose?
It just seems odd you would have one on each front wheel loose.
Have you done brakes before?
Otherwise get something like this link which has everything you should need for the fronts for 50 + ship

I have not done breakers before. But this is exactly what I was looking for. I will buy these for my front end. And I know it's strange I had a **** mechanic work on my car and replace a lot of my OE with a lot of cheap Chinese **** that's falling apart. Anyway, these are perfect and through the research I've done seem to be a good option. I appreciate the help guys. I haven't done any work before, but it's time I get started, done paying others to **** up my baby.Are you talking about these.

those slider bolts are just that sliders, the caliper is supposed to move back and forth on the pins there. i highly doubt you need new ones.
if they are stripped the bracket is also stripped.
search youtube for how to vids, brakes are easy, but i think your over thinking it all due to lack of knowledge.

We'll what happens is the caliper comes off the rotor and scrapes the rim. Obviously undeliverable as it happens on the mildest bump. From research I've done, the only solution is retread or new caliper

caliper bracket bolts tend to come out, then the caliper hit the wheel when the brakes are used. or full time.
post some pics of your issue.
