[11:14:49 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: Anyone know anything about that stuff?

[11:16:44 PM / 25-May-13 ] StephenG: no idea

[11:19:15 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: It may be a future problem for me

[11:19:23 PM / 25-May-13 ] StephenG: I was under the impression it was more of a master cyl thing

[11:19:47 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: It is also

[11:20:03 PM / 25-May-13 ] StephenG: Ah, never done anything that involved

[11:20:20 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: But the caliper is to back off the rotor for improved mileage

[11:20:45 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: My mc is non quick uptake

[11:21:41 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: My current rear calipers are on opposite sides of the rotor - kinda like both rights

[11:22:09 PM / 25-May-13 ] StephenG: Thats interesting lol..

[11:22:15 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: I can't mill a bracket to mount them on a ford knuckle

[11:22:55 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: They're staggered that way as the shocks are staggered that way - stop wheel hop

[11:23:05 PM / 25-May-13 ] StephenG: Ah, gotcha

[11:24:41 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: The 04 cobra calipers may not work for me

[11:26:02 PM / 25-May-13 ] JonB: Maybe quick-up takes went the way of the dodo

How much of a pain are they to change on the vg? Mine are not in the best shape and pretty sure at least one is leaking a tad bit.

Throttle Body Cleaner or Carb Cleaner. A toothbrush for scrubbing is good advice.

i used an oil pan, a gallon of gas and a good brush for the plenum to get the big stuff off and carb/throttle body cleaner for the rest.
i also scraped the shit out of a lot of it with a screwdriver.

looked like this:


here you can somewhat see it cleaned(forgot to take pics):


edit:
make sure to get a new plenum gasket or some grey rtv(i used leftover honda-bond)
