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.

whats wrong with them?<p>I figured they seized...what you should try is to sand where the sliders go.

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