    Info on HID/Xenon Kit Installation

    brake caliper slides

    yes i mean the slides, the top one slides hardly, to the point that i wouldn't call it sliding even. the bottom one slides just like its supposed to. i spun the wheel without the brakes on and it spun nice and smooth. then i put the brakes back on, built pressure up in them and spun them again...
