    What happened? Can your original one get rebuilt? Subaru offers a seal kit, and poisons if they're seized.

    Caliper seemed to seize up and after a while of driving with it because it felt like an un balanced wheel, I suddenly lost brake pressure.. Any idea what that seal kit would cost?

    This problem is solved! I'm thinking there might be a design flaw in the calipers because the same piston in both front calipers were frozen solid and needed to be torched in order to get them free.

    I don't think that it's the caliper that has a "design flaw"






    :p Glad that you got it figured out Mr. Failrad!

    Sounds like they need to be rebuilt, you should pull them, clean them and buy a new seal kit.

    You never mentioned you rebuilt them, only that you torched them which is not the way to permanently fix them...
