[diesel_mercedes] Re : Bendix vs ATE rear calipers 82 240D

 


It now stops well and you got a $50 coupon ? .

I'd say you came out _WAY_ ahead .

I hope you flushed & bled all four wheels until clean brake fluid came out .

The guy in the store and I agreed that I would buy another set from the store (he matched the online price) and then when they came in, I could match up a set and return the mismatched set (presumably for some other sucker to buy and install, who knows). So when the new set came in two days later, they were for the front. Tried again, and voila, a really great matched set of Bendix, just what I wanted, super nice. I did the return of the originals and installed them, they work great. Also, in the online deal, I got a $50 coupon for my next $100 online purchase. So I can now go online and buy $100 worth of oil change supplies for $50 and pick them up at the store. On top of that, the calipers were $56 apiece, which I think is a decent price. Overhauled in Canada of all places. The only downside was paying $16 apiece for brake hoses, which are all over the place for $5 - $10 online (plus shipping). So I overpaid by $20 for the hoses...so maybe I'm still $30 ahead on the deal.
