I'd just get new calipers....you'll be much happier w/ the results. I 
changed over all my calipers and m/c and am extremely happy w/ how firm the 
pedal is. This car has the best brakes out of all the other cars I've 
used...even newer cars. There's usually no recovering a frozen park brake 
lever. Check www.thepartsconnection.com for good prices.
