WTB Stock Front Left Brake Caliper

I am looking for a stock left USA driver caliper for an 07 NA crossfire. ATE part number 571281300.

Mine is hanging up with a measly 58K miles on it. Anone have a good one of these lying around after upgrading?

Thanks,
John

I have a full set of SRT calipers (I see you're looking for NA). If you have the itch to upgrade, let me know.

What else would I need? Rotors pads? anything else? Also how much? I happy with the brakeing dynamics of the car as it is but if the price is inexpensive, I guess why not.

Re: WTB Stock Front Left Brake Caliper

JJG, just wondering why it seized up at 58k? Has the brake fluid ever been flushed?

Abaton Its sticking, not really seized. No the fluid has never been flushed with 58K. normal people don't do that type of stuff so early in life and Mercedes must be using some real poor quality fluid if they require it to be changed so early too.

Thank you so much again Franc!

Received, Installed and working great! Thanks again Franc as you have restored my faith back in the board!

The last and only other time I looked for parts here a looser that frequents the board had me drive about 4 hours round trip to Doylsetown PA to pick up a set of SRT Rims that he claimed to be in good to very good shape never disclosing to me that one of them was cracked and the tire that went with it while had good tread, was not worth scrap as it had been driven flat for many miles. The crack was on the inside bead and I did not realize it until I was cleaning the rims at home the next day. When I confronted him he claimed he did not know the rim was cracked and refused to take the rim back or replace it with another. FWIW, I am sure he knew the rim was cracked and was lying through his teeth.

If anyone one is keeping track of the good and the bad of the board mark Franc Rauscher as outstanding and top notch! and mark
gehoben as a looser who should not be trusted for any reason.
