Default Where to buy new calipers?

Hey guys I was wondering where I could buy brand new calipers for my car. I was hoping to buy all 4 wheel calipers In one package. I've searched around google ad other sites but can't seem to find one. Can anyone link me to a site with the whole package?

I don't think you will find a package of all four, but rockauto.com sells them all individually.

Why does nobody sell them in packs of 4? It seems like a reasonable thing to do.

Cause 4 calipers never go bad at the same time, theres no market for a package like that. I've never had to change more than one, or possibly 2 calipers on any car I've ever owned.

My calipers are rusting and I want a nice pair. I'm already going to replace brake pads and install slotted drilled rotors, but I want to have new calipers with it. Are the napa ones good? Do they require any modification?

Pretty much all calipers will be rebuilt OEM ones.

Want BRAND new calipers? genuineaudiparts.com has them for $212 a piece for the fronts(P/n 8E0615123A for left, p/n 8E0615124A for right), and $305 a piece for the rears (p/n 8D0615423B for left, p/n 8D0615424B for right). Those would be brand spankin new OEM calipers.

If that is too expensive, and I hope it is, just head to Napa and get a rebuilt set of OEM ones. Make sure they say Lucas on them, or they may otherwise be non-OEM

If your old ones are still in good working condition, clean them up, apply some anti- rust compound, then paint them yourself with some good high temp paint... waaaaaaay cheaper than replacing them all just for looks.
