      Front brake calipers sort of seized on my way home from work. Came off a highway ramp and all the sudden I could hear them grinding lightly. Pulled over and popped the master cylinder cap off for a few seconds, stuck it back on and pumped the brakes and then backed out of the spot and it had gone away. Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking it may be the return springs as they look sort of funny to me, does any one have a picture of how they're supposed to look on a BG?

        Probably binding on the pins. Grease them or replace as needed.

        Wish I had four empty kegs....

          just a note... there ARE NO "return springs". Those little M-springs are there simply to avoid pad chatter when the brakes are not applied.

                Fuel pump died on me. Only a year old -_- and advance wouldn't warranty it because I didn't buy a strainer. Wtf. Oh well, got a nice aeromotive stealth 340 to go in its place.

                        well the frame was cocked to the driver side about 6 inches... so this is a ****ty pic showing how we fixed it haha....
                        had a tow strap on the right side wrapped around a telephone pole connected to my strut tower to hold the car in place...
                        then took my buddys g20 and hooked a come along and a chain to my frame rail and strapped my buddys 240 infront of that and cranked the come along to pull the frame rails back in place haha..
