My sticky brake caliper is back! One black wheel, the smell of burning and not needing the handbrake on an incline!

I found these calipers one Ebay...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAZDA-MX5-NA-1-8-1994-19...

They are half the price of others I have found, but have a two year warranty. Are they any good or is it just false economy?

Also, it's the offside front that is binding, is it worth changing the nearside too? I'm worried about there being an imbalance or is it that unlikely?

TIA

Thanks both. I have stripped, cleaned and greased the sliders on all the calipers, but this one is intermittently sticking. It wouldn't roll facing downhill yesterday!

I'll give one of these a try I think.

Decided to go for it. Seemed good quality and performs well. It must have been sticking for a long time, as the car feels so much better to drive.

All of this was less than £120 delivered from brakeparts.co.uk. Ordered Monday evening and arrived on the Wednesday.
