Keep in mind that most of the "off the shelf" parts arent top quality. Places like Napa even have different levels of brake calipers, starting at around 60 going up to 120 a piece. A couple of bucks extra is worth it when you are dealing with brakes, besides, who wants to keep bringing them back when they start to leak.

RedBeast, you are right. Some of the aftermarket stuff is junk. AutoZone is not on the top of the heap. However, I have used a lot of their calipers without any problem, so I wouldn't hesitate.

Thanks for your imput, I went to Precision Engineering web site. I like what they say. I will give them a call because I may only want to do the rear brakes at this time.

I can recommend Muskegon Brake.

I recently got a left rear ss sleeved caliper; $69 plus $50 refundable core (it cost $13 to send the core back Parcel Post). Also got rear rotors and front rotors and hubs from them.

They are knowledgable and easy to work with (I talked primarily to Justin).
