Lol. Hopefully your pins aren't seized...
Why does everyone keep saying that? Is it known to happen on these Brembo's? Also his car has like -4 miles on it, I doubt they'll be seized

It is definitely known to happen. If they are seized, it's gonna be a pain. Haha. Mine were seized and I had to end up drilling them. They seize up cause the caliper is cast iron and the pins are zinc. I'll I can say is have fun...

Are you talking about the Brembos themselves or the rear brakes? I had one seized and me and my brother just pulled the **** out of it and it came out.

The Brembo caliper pins ontop of the caliper. There is 2 in each caliper and they hold the brakes in place. Depending on how well they were taken care of and if they were lubed and anti seized if they were ever replaced you could have an issue. Just all depends on what the circumstances are. You never know though. I made a thread about it and some peoples pop right out, some need a little more effort, and some are seized. You'll just have to wait and see.

Easy way is to buy new calipers. Harder way is to drill them out.

Best of luck to you. I spent a day and half with penetrating fluiding mine and fighting with them. The just drilled them out. Only actually punched one out.

Why can't you run? You still have an E-brake.

Getting the brembo calipers off isn't hard. The pins holding the brakes in place is what's a killer. Even if you get the pins out, its good to replace them. They are only like $15 for new ones.

Possibly. Not too sure. I bought everything OEM from rockauto for dirty cheap.

Dealer would probably have them.

Lol. They should be that bad. Probably like $25-$30 there. Rockauto has them for $15 for a set of 4 and its $7 shipping I do believe.

No one in this thread really, but I've been getting messages on Facebook about making a meet closer to this place or that place.

It's really annoying, especially when anyone can organize a meet anywhere they damn well please... I'm the only one that seems to do it and I just make **** up as I go.

When will people realize they can do it themselves? The next meet is going to be in my driveway, we'll see how many people complain then.

I had to say that at least once, it's been driving me crazy since the first meet I organized. Not to mention, most of this **** that message me the most about these meets only stay for 15 minutes. Not my ******* fault you didn't talk to people or get out of your car.

Now that I said that... I want some god damn ice cream... Brian bring me some
