Anyone have experience purchasing brake calipers for your celicas at Pep Boys, Advance Auto Parts, or AutoZone?
I'm thinking if it's really worth buying another set of Toyota Calipers, or saving my money and going with a comparable replacement from one of these places? |

Get a remanufactured one -- really, the parts that wear out aren't hard to manufacture to quality, and the rest can be reused.
Cheaper solution would be a rebuild kit and some time. |

Remaufactured calipers are basically rebuilt OEM ones...

you don't change them based on "often"
calipers are calipers they stay there for forever unless they break thats when its time to change them |
