Brake Caliper recommendation

Assuming I can't get the broken bleeders out, I'll need to replace the calipers. Does anyone have a recommendation of where to buy them?

I would think it would be best to replace all 4, but my mechanic says it's not necessary. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

There is a non-supporting vendor in Muskegon, Mi, who shall remain nameless, that offers an excellent MC/caliper/line replacement kit for around $350. Great customer service, quality products, close to you for cheaper shipping. HINT: they're in Muskegon and they do brakes. Good stuff! :cheers:

Spend a few extra $ and get Zero Tolerance pistons with O rings. It's the lifetime solution.

Muskegon is where I was looking and it seemed like a great deal. I Can't imagine anyone being any cheaper.

thanks

IMHO, only replace the calipers that need to be replaced. If needed, rebuild your other calipers with the O-ring kit from Vette Brakes. The kit is easy to install and will give a night and day difference to the reliability of your calipers (no air pumping).
