I dunno it feels like it, I'm taking it in tonight. When they replaced the rear calipers they told me they would replace the slider pins and well. When I got the car back I noticed they didn't replace the pins because they still have red paint on them from when I painted them. I called to complain about it but I was told they rebuilt them. Its a pin wtf, I spent $800 already I would have gladly paid a little more to get the job done right.

so i get the car back today they said nothing was wrong but charged me $46 saying the lubed up al 4 calipers. Pedal feels better, but i just ordered 4 new rotors with pads and I ill install them myself when I go back home for the 4th of July weekend.
Anyone else think its wrong that since I had my car in the shop 3-4 weeks ago for the same issue and was charged $800 to fix it. Take it back today and they charged me another $46 saying they lubed up my calipers don't u think that should have been done in the first place?

Sorry for the late reply.
Slick I got the master for 320 I believe. But It wasn't it.
I simply just ordered the calipers . Which weird enough came out to $47 a piece and brake lines $36 each. At my buddies dealer costs.
Hopefully I get the same outcome.
Thanks

Damn...That is wrong that they could not get it right in the first place after charging you $800. Hope the pedal feels better now.
Anyone know how often we have to re-grease the pins to keep them running smooth?
