Caliper on an 04 blob after driving.

The car was pulling slightly to the right under braking, when I parked up 3 of the 4 calipers were very warm, the rear offside was cold to the touch. It's obviously a stuck piston, so is the best way forward a complete repair kit and SS pistons?. I'm changing the fluid, discs and pads all round at the end of the month for a set of Godspeed so it'll be a drained system anyway. Is it worth doing the fronts as well (although it then starts to get a wee bit expensive...)

I don't do trackdays and occasional blast around the B roads at 05:00 on the way to work.

Dave.

Have you priced up refurbed calipers?

Probably not much in it compared to the service kit & time to do it.

I'd do both sides, but not the fronts yet.
