I have tried to find some existing threads that talked about replacing calipers, but have struck out. We have an 07 MDX that has had a caliper seize. Got is loose once with our local mechanic, but it is bad again. I am going to replace them. Also have some vibration under braking, so will do rotors too. Any recommendations on the set up? Prefer not to spend a fortune and it just needs to stop reliably, We plan on keeping the car for our son when he starts driving in 2 years, so want to maintain it. Also live in Ohio rust belt, if that matters.
How long have you known this mechanic? Which caliper needs replaced?
Is this a local tire shop chain, like Midas?
You can get them to check you suspension, while the MDX is there, getting the brakes and rotors.
I used ebc rotors and centric pads all the way around. Rotors were $200 for 4 and I’m very happy with them. I used to use stoptech blanks and I like these better.

Mechanic is an uncle of a friend. Small private shop. Very trustworthy and only does what needs done.
I'll be doing the rotors and caliper change myself. Just looking for brand suggestion, or if it really matters.
