Re: Caliper problem - Help .....

To be honest - I'm not 100% sure. I've always assumed HP-2's. Two pistons per caliper. Four pads. Retaining clip on top. I would say HP-2's based on the brake write-ups I've seen on here.

Yes,...

Re: How old is the vehicle? I think emissions related items are covered beyond the standard warrant

Its an '01 w/ 72k. Still within the 80k emissions warranty but O2 sensors are not covered under that extended portion of the warranty - only up to 24k(?) I think.
