Seized Calibers... need some help
Well I was told my car had a recall on the rear calipers, by multiple sources, so I take it in and they tell me that I have 2 seized rear calipers and there is no recall. So I got quoted 850 for just parts i believe so im not in love with GM at the moment.
Anyway where the hell can I find some new calipers? and is there something I can upgrade to? I do AutoX a bit. Thanks for any help

Is there any way to take them apart and lubricate to un-seize them? Or is removal and replacement the only option? It looks like my regular brakes are engaging just fine by the marks and wear on the rotor, but when the car is jacked up and the e-brake is all the way up the drivers side rear caliper isn't holding at all, the wheel is free spinning... Right side got replaced by previous owner under warranty and works like a charm...

The rear calipers on the TC cars can't be rebuilt that I know of, you can buy new calipers from CrateEngineDepot.com, they run around $180/each.
