Replace Brake Callipers In Pairs?

[Ben1720Cup]

Hi chaps

My OSF calliper has seized on and I’m just wondering when replacing callipers is it best to replace them in pairs?

You don’t need to replace them in pairs, but the chances are if one has seized the other won’t be far behind it.

Got a track day coming up and for the sake of £40 I might aswell get another new calliper tbh.

It's more than likely just the sliders in the carrier, can be disassembled, wire brushed clean and then lubricated and put back together.

I do this twice a year to all sliders on all four corners when I swap back and forth to the winter wheels

Where is the best place to buy them for the 172 cup? I got this delivered today but it’s completely the wrong size.

Are they any different from a regular 172/182? I've previously bought reconditioned Pagid units from eurocarparts.

Yeah the 172 are slightly larger. I got 2 from eBay brand new.
