[Luis325]

Im thinking of buying new or remanufactured calipers for my vert.

Any tips on where to get them?

Thanks

Why not rebuild the calipers you have? Unless the piston seal surfaces are corroded the calipers can be rebuilt easily and cheaply and the result will be at least as good, if not better, than remans.

^This.

I bought some rebuilt ones from BMA and while they worked, the "paint" if you want to call it that, came off the calipers the first time I washed the car, then instantly started surface rusting.

I'd rebuild them yourself, and when they are apart, have them powdercoated so they will continue to look good for years into the future.

OK Thanks guys!
Any idea on what parts i need to buy besides the rubber seals for a complete rebuild?

Thanks

rebuilts are surprisingly cheap - it depends on how you value your time. Rebuilding a caliper is super easy, but so is buying one for $40 and bolting it to the car.

^^^ anyone 

Loaded usually comes with pads.

Where can I get a caliper rebuild kit?

Blunttech for all the parts.

Rebuilding them is ridiculously easy. They're all single piston. Get new guide bushings too.

Any opinions on reman brands? There seems to be a ton.

They should all be fine, there aren't a lot of parts in our brakes. I replaced all of mine with remans, but holy cow did they surface rust instantly.

autopart international has reman'd girling calipers, i think they were 48 bux in massachusetts, dont know if they have any other locations, and I'm pretty sure they dont have an online ordering setup, but they have pretty good prices and service brick and mortar

I'm going to be rebuilding mine, mainly because I just want to have the experience of doing it. I already know how to bolt them to the car.
