I am going to be doing my front brakes next week on my 98 gs400. I have a grinding noise when I back up when i first start the car coming from front passenger side brake. It has a very slight vibration when I stop hard and pulls to the right. I plan on changing both rotors and pads, but what to make sure caliper is ok on both sides. How can I test caliper?

sounds like a warped rotor. i also have a warped rotor and having read that u GS guys are having such success with AZ brake rotors that im going to get myself a pair for the front! mated with EBC red stuff lol.

yea im going with AZ rotors myself. just worried I have a bad caliper. I dont know what pads Im going with just yet.

you'll know if the caliper is bad when you push the piston in and it either won't go in or it's really really hard to push. either of those things happen, buy a new/remanned caliper.
