Not much detail in your question.
Repeat of what?
Why are you replacing the calipers?

Sorry for not explaining what I need. I need two new brake calipers(rear),brake pads and brake lines if they are needed. I am trying to find the best product for the best price. My 74 is a Sunday cruiser

Thanks

What is it about your existing calipers that you need replacements? Are they stainless steel sleeved already? If so, rebuilding with new seals is inexpensive and pretty simple. When you have to go about replacing pitted pistons, then it may be more cost effective going with caliper replacement and core exchange. If your current calipers are not sleeved, then replace them, no doubt about it. I haven't bought any from them, but Rock Auto has AC Delco rebuilts with sleeves for about $80 each. Always replace the flexible rubber lines when doing caliper rebuild/replacement, it's cheap insurance and peace of mind. I tend to go with either AC Delco or Raybestos brands for brake products - often AC Delco looks exactly like Raybestos and is probably just rebranded.
