Hi there, just found this forum, should have looked for it years ago. Got a problem with the front brakes on my 2000 Shuma SX, need to replace the discs and calipers after only 2 years use. I have owned my car from new and have done 87k miles, no real complaints, still going strong.





See me on twitter.

if rou got 87,000 miles from original brakes you did very well, there is a vast difference in the types and design of the brake pads and calipers that are avaiable for todays vehicles. I work part time for a large automtive supply company.


Next time you replace these items take a few moments to explore the options that are available, most better replacement parts only cost a few dollars more at the time of intial purchase, you maybe ahead in the long run if you are planning to drive the vehicle for a while
