[s-cars] Rear Brake Caliper ????

[Tom Green]

AutohausAZ and FAP99 are usually my first choices.  If you have  
questions, Tim LeClair at FAP99 is one of us and will ensure you get  
the correct parts.  The parts are heavy, so free
shipping can sway your decisions.  The photo at FAP99 shows the  
caliper complete with carrier and pins/boots.  I would make sure what  
you order is complete or if you need those parts
separately.  Your CO caliper carriers and pins may be in good enough  
shape to just reuse, but new boots and lubricant on those slides are  
needed.  This listing below has several choices
depending on whether you need the carrier and sliding hardware.  I  
have not done business with them, but the rebuilders are common  
throughout the industry.  The bare calipers could
save a lot of money if your other hardware is in good condition.

I see no reason to need to purchase everything from the same place.   
AutohausAZ has a leg up on rotors/pads with free shipping.  I would  
prefer rotors with a good anti-corrosion coating since they last a  
long time, so you may need to call and verify that.  It is probably  
time to change those rear hoses and flush the brake fluid also, so  
make sure you leave time for that.

You might want to call Brendan at  <https://www.apikol.com/> for any  
information.  He may have some of the parts right in your backyard.
