1980 911SC..
My 25 year old ride is showing it's age.. rear drivers side caliper is dragging... making lots of dust... not good.. I'm contemplating rebuilding the caliper vice buying a rebuilt [$100/Vertex] or new [$280/Pelican]... cost of a rebuild kit is about $20. I don't track the car , don't do anyhting wild > so brakes get a decent life [in terms of Porsche brakes].. Sure I'd like to get a set of big-reds.. but my kids would like to go to college too... [prioities all messed up I now].. I've read/downloaded the Pelican article on rebuilding .. doesn't seem like rocket science.... Thoughts .. lessons learned... ?? personal experience? thanks
