Looks like my rear stock calipers have locked up.  Although there is =
plenty of hydraulic pressure at the calipers, there is hardly any =
braking power.  I assume this indicates that my rear calipers have =
seized up.  Initial price indicates that rebuild kits, with pistons, are =
about $250 per side !!  I'm not looking for track performance.  Still =
have the stock 7" and 8"  Campys and am interested only in good street =
performance . What suggestions does the list have for the most =
economical and effective way to proceed ? Is it worth rebuilding the =
stock rear calipers, or are there better alternatives ?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hap
