any bolt on brake calipers?

Anyone know offhand if there are any aftermakret brake calipers that will bolt on to SE cars.

My rear calipers are toast. Rebuilt ones cost around 75 bucks a pop.

Have you checked rock auto?

Just checked they have all kinds of calipers from 20 to 120.

Reman and new, EDIT but apparently not for FI rear calipers, weird

You say they are toast....can they be rebuilt, not hard and very cheap to do

Maybe that 85SE down at the PnP in San Jose on Commercial St. still has the rear calipers. I took one rotor and a wheel a couple weeks ago. I'll be down there wednesday (25% off!) and if they're there I'll pull them.

it seems to be rusted together so im not sure its rebuildable.

its for a track car so Id rather get somthing newish if I can.

the rear calipers on rockauto or from parts america are 75 bucks each

I guess the parking break crap makes them expensive.
