Does anyone here have a parts supplier for J55 13" calipers for an '88-96 vette? I'm looking to replace and upgrade my '89 JL9 12" OEM brakes.

Zip and Mid America both list the HD 13" caliper mounting brackets but neither have the HD OEM calipers. Rebuilt OEM 13" PBR calipers would be OK. C5 calipers will not work with my OEM '89 wheels so that is not an option.

No one seems to have the 13" HD calipers??

Because of the cost most are going to the C5 upgrade

Do any of the local parts stores have them? Advanced and O'Reilly show them as being available.

At times the local big chain parts stores are a good source for C4 parts.....

Thanks everyone for all the replies. Didn't want to go with the cheap Autozone "Jenco remanufactured" PBR?? calipers.

Thanks Brain for the DRM link.... but I found loaded, brand new, PBR OE calipers from www.discountbrakes.com for less than half the price that DRM lists them for!
