Default Brembo Fronts AS IS - issues

SOLD for $100 shipped.

OEM Brembo Front calipers. AS IS. $150 shipped OBO.

I bought these used, and had them rebuilt. I had the following issues -

1. Fluid leaking from bleeder threads. I was able to minimize leaking by using SpeedBleeders with thread sealer. But during track use, they would eventually start to leak again.

2. Overheating/Pads not retracting fully. After use, if I lifted the car and tried to spin the wheels by hand, it was difficult due to pads still rubbing on calipers. I tried filing down pads, rebuilding calipers again with new seals - no help. These would overheat and fade on the track.

I am not sure what the issues are or how to repair. I would speculate that the pistons are scorched maybe preventing them from sliding properly. And that the bleeders could be re-tapped by a professional. This is just my amateur opinion.

They come with the SpeedBleeders.
