Brake Caliper Options (1 Viewer)

It looks like I might have to change my front brake caliper. I don't have alot of money so i'm not looking to buy a new oem one for 280 bucks so that being said.

What aftermarket replacement one should I get, specifically is there one that people have had luck with.

I was thinking something like http://www.partsamerica.com/product...1C&MfrPartNumber=171655&PartType=5003&PTSet=Ahttp://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q217/skk321/Taal Pics and Videos/

Looks for a used one here and rebuild it yourself.

I run two re-manufactured Raybestos calipers from partsamerica on the front. Work just great.

Just got one from Checker for $49. I let you know how it holds up.

Napa calipers, with hardware, go for $64 each.

Just installed my checker caliper. It took about a half hour. Works great and fixed my sticking problem. Looks brand new, I was happy to swap for my old one.

I have a set of OEM calipers I just removed from my rig. Passenger has 3 seized pistons... haven't checked drivers. I have a rebuild kit, too. Let me know if you want them. I'm in the Springs area, so you'd need to cover shipping, or I can drag them to CM if you're going.

I ended up getting remanufactured 94 & earlier calipers from CDan for about $100 each. As Dan said, "officially, I don't know if they'd work, and I can't recommend them... however, all the specs I can see are identical to the 95+". I took a flier (didn't want to choke up $300 each for new), and they're working GREAT. YMMV

I don't remeber where it was, but Elmariachi purchased some OEM raman calipers cheap and was pleased with them. I believe it was O'Rileys or Auto Zone.
