Yeah deffo, they will be beyond saving. As said though if the sliders and piston are ok the only difference a new caliper will make is it will look a bit better.Ailfenergy wrote:My mate is suggesting me to start with the new brake pads and discs.

They do look shi t!
But for £60 (aside from your time and a tad of brake balance) what have you got to lose?
