i bought new drilled ans lotted rotors with pads for my sc300.i putt them on and i think my pistons in the caliper are shot, because my car does not roll it is in a complete stop and makes a weird cracking noise when i turn the wheel or before i come to a complete stop pressing on the brake. i think its because of its age but idk .....looking for answers if anybody had similar problems.....plz let me know if you changed yur rotors and and new pads thx

Were you able to push the pistons back into the bore when replacing the pads and rotors without too much effort?

If you indeed need calipers, I have a set that came off my 98' not too long ago.

did you make sure, you have the slots rotating in the right direction. You will have more of a slight vibration & noise with the slots as they pass through the pad. If you put brand new pads, w/brand new rotors, you had to compress the pistons in all the way to make it fit. That being said I wouldnt think your pistons are bad unless, they are leaking.

ok so one of the front pistons in the caliper are not going back when i try to clamp them back so i can fit the new pads in so the fit over the rotor... one of the pistons those movve back the other doesnt... as for the other which was ok and i got everything in the pads rub really hard so my car cant even role as if the brake are locked in...

Sounds like the pistons are seized. Pm me, I have a set if you're interested.
