so umm.. do i need new rear calipers??

[SlidewayzS14]

changed my rear pads today and when i was turning in the passenger side, i tore the boot. My right side, the piston leaks like a mofo. its obvious i need a new right one, but what about my left one? is the torn boot a big issue?

yes a torn boot is a big issue. lol.

i'd replace them both. sounds like they need replacing anyway.

for future reference you need to handle the boot with some needle nose pliers so it doesn't get crinkled and rip.

you can replace just the boot if you like. but as aznpoopy said, the rear calipers suck and should be replace at every chance you get. get some with a lifetime warranty and get new ones whenever they leak, freeze up, or whenever you change the pads.
