Message: [QUOTE="IdahoF350, post: 1048264, member: 2989"] With the stock calipers, or remanufactured stock calipers, the amount of force on the pads is the same, so changing to a reman caliper gains you nothing other than fresh surfaces, seals. Servicing the caliper slider pins allows more force to be transferred to the pads. Also, maintaining any surfaces the pads slide in will help. The hydraulic side of the system needs attention too. Replacing the fluid is important, and with the heat we can generate in our calipers, finding a fluid with a high dry boiling point is key. I use Valvoline SynPower fluid in all my vehicles. It's the highest dry boiling point by far of any off the shelf fluid, matches the performance of a lot of the best performance fluids like Motul, Willwood, and Castrol SRF, and it is reasonably priced. The final area I've had improvement in brake performance is braided stainless brake hoses. Especially if your hoses are older, they can lose their ability to contain the pressure and will flex, and they can deteriorate and either delaminate or disintegrate internally, preventing the full hydraulic force you create with the master cylinder from being realized in the caliper.
