FD Brake Caliper Rebuild Question...
Ive Got some FD calipers im putting on my s3 fb rx7 using the RESpeed big brake kit.. Ive stripped them down and as you can see with years of **** and salt from the UK roads they looked ok i thought..
After an hr of cleaning them with a brass brush and a pad they come out looking light this with some slight marks still..
Top view..
Just wanted to get some thoughts on those areas that still showing some marks if they still in usable condition or if i should get new ones. ive never rebuilt calipers before so just throwing it out to get some ideas if their usable..
Thanks

Required? Not really. A good idea? Yes. I know people who had run without them (mainly because they lose them), but it's a good idea to use them. As mentioned, they are a shim but they also help provide even contact with the pad as well as absorb some heat. There was a forum member selling some titanium shims a few years ago.
