damn, if i had known the stock calipers use phenolic pistons front and rear, I would waited another 2 or 3 years to do the brakes!!! The bores look great. I have flushed the fluid every 2 years. Oh well.....

Do other newer cars use phenolic pistons???

If any wants some 40% used front pads, send me $20 to cover the shipping. Wagner Thermo Quiet, ceramic I think.

Most newer cars use non-metallic pistons caliper pistons. Saves weight and there are no corrosion problems.
