You guys are serious? 50 and 40 dollars! Honest to god, I just found all this out and Ive had a seven ever since I have even owned a car. Remand brake calipers should be a every year replace, if they are really that price.

Yep. That's why prices on used 4-pots are very low. They are basically just worth a core price.

I sold a pair of 4-pots for $20 to a friend.

I work at an AZ, its 84.99 plus the core on a loaded pair of calipers. That means it comes with pads and hardware. Lifetime warranty too.

The rebuild kit (2 calipers) is $25.
That does not include the shims, springs and pins.

I wonder what pads they're using?

So the core exchange ones come with the hardware kit with it? Or is it just the the calipers by themselves? How long do the rebuild kit ones last compared to the reman ones?

It depends on location.. the cheapest fuel pump for a 2002 nissan frontier is $180 here in Morristown, TN but in Middlesboro or Pikeville, KY it was $120~

I didn't drive there to get it but it was brought to me by someone coming here anyway. So really just shop around.
