    Default Knocking brake and Snapped spring

    Problem 1) got a knocking brake after heavy braking - is this a new caliper or can i pop the piston out part way, clean it and then push it back into its pot?

    I dont believe you can buy seal kits?

    Problem 2) Another snapped spring, this time rear right - should i just buy a cheap aftermarket set or go original vaux if i dont want to fork out for shocks too?
