...you mean ship your own calipers in and have them rebuilt and shipped back?

....i don't know (because i just swap out rebuilt ones) but try muskegon brake, vansteel, etc.....

just DON'T ask Viet Nam Vette on this forum about brake calipers :nonod: :banghead:

Vette Brakes (best in the business) will rebuild your calipers and return them to you (not someone else's cores) for $10 extra per caliper - they will also paint them the correct black if you ask. :thumbs:

I wouldn't shop for a safety system like brakes by price; quality is more important to me. :thumbs:

I've done business with Stainless Steel Brake before so I called and checked the price, $128 each, they do yours and it takes a month. The calipers can't have sleeves in them now or it runs the price up. These guys been doing this since 1973, last set they did for me was a 73 coupe. :chevy
