Looking for opinions on either rebuilt and new manufactured brake calipers from Lone Star versus CSSB. A search here tells me there are lots of fans of both. So ... who's got an opinion on one versus the other and why. Second question is remanufactured versus new casting and how well the new castings function and judge? A search here saw one post that says Lone Star has the manufacturing rights to the calipers. Does that mean that everyone else to include CSSB buys from them?
I have a LF caliper that is leaking but I can't seem to get it to stop and my patience is thin and my back is hurting. My calipers are assumed to be original and have been SS sleeved before I bought the car 21 years ago and are currently running with lip seals. I have never had an issue with lip seals or leaking but I have a second kit coming and will also put a new piston in that one spot that is leaking.
I am inclined to go with new manufactured from one of them versus remanufactured but trying to get as much information as possible.
I saw that Lone Star had web site issues this past February but has anyone had problems with them recently? I click on their "calipers" section and I get a blank screen with only their logo.
