What I meant to say are the O ring calipers from Precision Engineering Corvette a quality caliper or is there something else in the price range I should consider.

New, as in New vs. Rebuilt parts would be my assumption.
Some of the vendors offer both.

I just looked them up.......impressive!!!

I think if I ever need to replace my 1985 SS VBP calipers (Lip seals BTW-No O-rings back then AND car sits 99.99% of the time), I would look seriously at Precision Engineering or at least talk to them.

Sending your trailing arms for a rebuild may be an option as well...
