Best source for o-ring calipers

Its about time I started working on the vette again and brakes are the next item on the list. Its been a while since I bought em and figured I'd ask who you bought from, prices, and thoughts on quality/service.

Thanks!

I bought the 0-ring kit from VBP and added them to my sleeved calipers. If you decide to go this way, Autozone sells the calipers already sleeved if yours are not sleeved. You can install the o-ring kit and call it a day.

Price was aircraft aluminum pistons. O rings and seals. The good old days

Just check their site. Have a lot of nice pieces. The pricing is quite reasonable.
