wrong dude the caliphers are different from 5's and 7's. the only difference from 5's and 7's is the pad adjust by the lever. they are deffinetly not as good as 5 or 7, i havent heard good things about them... get 5's

and the dangerboy levers will fit, but make sure you get the ones that are made for avid hydro brakes, cause they make them for lots of brands.

there the same as five just made in china using cheaper parts..the only other difference is where the hose goes into the caliper is in a different spot. And yes the dangerboy levers will fit the juicy 3's

If you`re buying Juicy`s, buy 7`s or maybe 5`s if you`re not racing Wink

I ride Juicy 5 for two seasons now. They are great, I haven`t even changed oil and they stil work like new. I only changed rotors for Braking and there is no more anoying voice when they`re wet, and they don`t overheat so fast. I ride FR and some DH, so there is no problem.
But thinking of buying 7`s or maybe even Code with Juicy 7`s brake leaver, for more power and pad adjustment, what do you think? I rode 7`s before on Braking rotors and are better for control. Thanks for help
