FRENKIT Front Brake Caliper Rebuild Kit 97-00 Honda Civic EK9 Integra DC2 Type R

This kit contains the key components needed to rebuild a brake caliper and restore smooth, reliable braking. It typically includes a replacement piston, piston seal, dust boot, guide pins, and guide pin boots, and in some cases bleeder screws, clips, or grease. The piston and seal apply and release clamping force on the pads, while the guide pins let the caliper slide freely. Replacing them together addresses the most common causes of caliper failure in one repair, often at a lower cost than a complete new caliper.

Symptoms that indicate this kit is needed:

• Sticking or seized piston: the piston won’t retract, or it’s difficult to compress when changing pads
• Brake fluid leaking around the caliper, piston, or dust boot
• Brake drag or overheating: a burning smell, or one wheel noticeably hotter than the others
• Vehicle pulling to one side when braking
• Uneven or tapered pad wear
• Torn, cracked, or missing dust boots or guide pin boots
• Corrosion, pitting, or scoring on the piston or guide pins
• Spongy or low brake pedal, or a pedal that sinks slowly
• Squealing, grinding, or clunking from the brakes
• Reduced fuel economy from constant brake drag

Tip: Always replace kit components in pairs (both wheels on the same axle), and bleed the brake system after installation. If the caliper bore is deeply pitted or damaged, replace the entire caliper instead.
