I'm having trouble with sticky front caliper, if i take it off and give it a clean chances are its gonna do it again? Would it be best to upgrade? if so to what?
Any reccomendations? my99 classic

It has probably suffered a split seal and the mild steal pistons may have corroded - best bet is to rebuild with some stainless pistons from the likes of godspeed

Either that or upgrade to STI brakes or k-sports but it'll be quite a bit dearer

ok, is it fairly straight forward to rebuild calipers?

Whip the calipers off, pull the seals off, run an airline or similar to drive the pistons out far enough to get a grip of them (assuming you're replacing them all), drag them out, clean up the piston, insert new pistons and refit, or save the time and get some of these

Had a caliper with seized piston (two pot) it warped the disc with the heat. It was a Tokico caliper, only Subaru supplied caliper would fit. The reconditioned ones had different mounting spacings. Was off the road for a week finding this out!
