Personally I quite like the spanish girling calipers... I find that the pads are slightly easier to find, and they have built in locating springs, rather that separate ones that I tend to lose ;)

My fronts have only seized once since I've had the truck... so not too bad :)
Whenever I touch the brakes I re-grease the sliders :)

Most of time I need to go near the brakes is because of the sliders :lol:
