What company sells calipers for our cars for 10" rotors.

Is there any? I couldn't seem to find anything.

Cant you use your stock calipers? Which rotors did you get?

Wouldnt XG calipers work? Ive heard of people upgrading to those.

Well I have rotors from rotorpros.

My calipers are giving out so I need new ones.

I don't want to buy used, but the only place that sells new seems like the dealer.

Is there an upgrade to 2 piston for 10" rotors?

I'm pretty sure they will. This was discussed recently, I forget where though.

I think they won't!

The xg two piston calipers are only available for 11" or 12" rotors.

If you have a rd2 with non captive rotors try to sell your front 10" rotors and get 11" rotors (04 Sonata with abs) from rotorpros and upgrade to the xg system.

If you have a rd1 with captive rotors get rd2 hub and spindels as well and swap to rd2 non captive system before upgrading to the xf system...

well, since you already paid for the rotors, i doubt you want to upgrade. you will just need to get some used ones off a newer tib.

Yeah, I was asking myself the same Q; it would have been nice to have some aftermarket Calipers for 10" rotors (a lightweight caliper maybe?)

Perhaps David at Kspec can help you with the calipers, he has good prices. How can you tell your calipers are giving up? What would be the symptoms of a worn caliper?

Well when I brake driving over 70miles an hour, the car turns to one side.

I'm thinking it's the caliper piston not functioning properly. I'm bascily just checking to see my calipers options for us incase I need to replace them.
