4 piston caliper?

I am in desperate need of new 4-piston calipers. The only problem is I dont have a local import shop around here. Does anyone know where i can go for new calipers that arnt going to kill me with their prices. Im in need VERY SOON. I just went to replace my pads which are worn right down to the metal. Damn that sucks i had to put them back to gether with the shitty old pads. Two of the pistons are stuck on both calipers. I also need a set of new springs if anyone knows where to get them. Please help!!!

Try your local auto parts store. I got mine at autozone. the left cost me $56 and the right cost me $85. Or you can rebuild them yourself as DJ said will be cheaper. You can get the rebuild kit from your local auto parts store too.

you know, that's kind of wierd.. I found the same thing when i was calling around for prices lately.. Is there some reason why the passenger side costs 30 bucks more?

I'm looking for a set of the 4-pistons myself, for a little project I've got going, and that really sort of perplexed me.

oh, and I found some at importpartsbin.com for $65.58 + $40.00 core, for each side. still, that's 210 bucks for a set of aluminum 4-piston calipers, not a bad deal when you consider the pricing for a set of Willwood, Brembo, or AP calipers....
