Default Rear Brake Calipers

I need a pair of them. I found them at AutoZone for about $100 each (after military discount). Anyone else know of a place I could get them for less?

Thanks guys...

Interesting, I just did a little looking around and Blauparts doesn't sell them, ECS only sells fronts. Looks like you may have found the best price already

Yeah, pretty much the same thing I found. I checked both of them this morning (and finally ordered a coil pack from blauparts).

A hundred each is still cheaper than I was expecting to find, so I'm not too upset about it, besides the fact that I don't have an extra $200 sitting around right now...

Are the calipers rebuildable? Should only be $5 per side for new seals.

I thought to try and rebuild them, but I really don't want to mess them up. A buddy of mine told me they are somewhat a PITA, and easy to mess up. Although, if I do try and rebuild, what's the worse that can happen? I mess it up, and buy new ones... I guess it's worth a look...

^^ what he said... all thats really involved is changing out a seal and boot. The hardest part is making sure its clean and that the piston is 'pit free'. If its pitted, better just to replace the caliper.
