Default Brake Caliper Questions

Evidently the seals? in my calipers are deteriorating. I believe all 73's had the same size/type calipers. Is there an alternative for replacing all the calipers? Which company? VetteBrakes? what else should I upgrade or change at this time? Master Cylinder is new, lines are stock, rotors in fair condition, car is 85% stock/unrestored now. Thanks for the help all

I replaced all 4 of my calipers with one's from Muskegon Brakes and was SUPER satisfied with their rebuilds. Were really well done and good customer service. I got mine while I was walking around Carlisle a couple of years ago so I could compare prices, etc. The guy at the Vette brakes booth was a little too snotty for my taste and so I went to talk to Muskegon. Very glad I did cuz their prices were better and the guy was VERY helpful.
