Well my mechanic says something about the front calipers aren't releasing the brakes all the way. What could this mean? I've been reading about the BMW 320i caliper replacement. If I were to buy the BMW calipers, could I have a local brake shop put them on (we know nothing about this stuff)? Or is it too complicated?

I have had good luck with the Volvo calipers. I have solid rotors (stock) a 19mm M/C and no porp. valve. They fit the riveria wheels with a little sanding on the belt sander and fit the ATS wheels also. they stop much better than the stock brakes but I am not racing and use the car as a daily driver.
