Where to buy calipers...
Where to buy calipers...
Well, I'm about to get my 3rd set of rear brake calipers - these things don't seem to last more than a couple years.  I might even replace the front ones too, since they're 10 years old.<p>The problem is, I can't seem to find calipers online like I used to.  JCWhitney (who merged with CarParts.com) and Nopionline.com do not have listings for calipers anymore.  Anyone know where I can find them?  CarParts.com used to have a long list of different manufactuers, and that's where I got my last 2 sets.<p>As far as I know, Mazda does not remanufacture them anymore, and I'd be nuts to buy new ones from them.<p>Thanks for any info about where I can find them now.

Re: Where to buy calipers...

Btw, you're right, the pistons have seized.
