[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 1026093, member: 64142"] Not that the technology hasn't changed (I hope it has) but when I had a 1980 Bronco years ago I had terrible issues with phenolic piston calipers. They were the factory calipers which I know because I bought the truck new (I'm no kid anymore). Every time they got wet the damn piston would stick in its bore the first time you used the brakes which would lead to overheated and warped rotors and ruined wheel bearings. Once I switched to calipers with steel pistons the problems stopped. Can't imagine why anyone would think the brakes on an off-road capable vehicle would ever get wet. :rollseyes: [/QUOTE]
