Default Seized calipers.

I have a my94 turbo wagon on which the brakes are sticking quite bad now,will that cause the abs to stop working?Also were is the best place to buy a service kit for the calipers?
Thanks in advance,
Lee.

Can't imagine it would affect the ABS apart from the fact that sticking would affect your braking in general. I recently had to rebuild my 4 pots, which was a pain in the **** but made a huge difference once I'd done it. Subaru are the best place to get the rebuild kit. If you want to replace the pistons they do do them individually, and IIRC Godspeed will supply them cheaper.

Yes if I hadn't done the job myself, I would have just sent them to Godspeed. IIRC it was roughly £150 to have a pair of 4 pots rebuilt and back to new condition, painted and everything.
