This kit basically lets you rebuild your brake caliper instead of replacing the whole thing. Inside you'll find new piston seals, rubber boots – those stretchy covers you see on the caliper – and sometimes new slide pins and clips. It’s a collection of small parts that get worn out over time, causing problems with your brakes. The caliper is the part that squeezes the brake pads against the rotor, that’s what actually stops your car. The kit’s parts work inside the caliper. Those seals keep the brake fluid from leaking, and the boots protect the pistons from dirt and corrosion. The slide pins allow the caliper to move freely, so the pads apply evenly. If those parts fail, the caliper can't work properly. Well, when those seals wear out, you start losing brake fluid, and that’s a big safety issue. You’ll notice if you have a spongy brake pedal, or maybe you have to pump it more than usual. A sticking caliper, caused by corroded or damaged slide pins, can cause the brake pad to drag, wearing down your pads and rotors faster, and even pulling your car to one side when braking. Rebuilding the caliper with a kit is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole caliper, and it gets you back to safe, reliable braking. You can find these kits pretty easily, something like Fixparts Online usually has a good selection. It’s a smart preventative measure, or a good fix if you're noticing those brake issues I mentioned.
