Title: WTB - Girling Front Right Brake Caliper
Post by: Gerta318is on August 24, 2010, 09:34:31 PM: Ok so I refreshed my suspension on the 91 318is - Billy Sports, Eibach springs, new sway bar links, AKG subframe bushings, AKG diff bushing. Things were going so well and then I decided to put speed bleeders in all the calipers ... you know I got them from PelicanParts so they must be correct right? Well apparently the last one I put in on the right front snapped off right at the base leaving me with a car still on jacks that needs to have it's brakes bled ... I'm hosed.

So I really need a Girling caliper for the right front (passenger side). Can anyone help me out - cost / shipping to 98036. If you would prefer a trade I have a few parts I've collected. Let me know what you'd be interested in.

Thanks,

Gerta
