Before doing the rear brakes, the car hardly had any brakes at all.
Brake pedel to the floor to stop the 3680lb beast. I doubt the rear brakes were doing anything beside dragging anyways.
The new calipers look excellent, They're the A-1 cardone rebuilds. I've never actually seen a caliper that new; clean. I should have looked at the condition of the front brakes before I order anything, I doubt the PO changed them (as he let the rears destroy themselves by over-extending the piston)
