Brake Caliper Question...

Hey quick (i hope) question about calipers...

i have an 89 gtu (5 lug) with the single pot calipers.... and i need new calipers, there is more rust than metal down there (and yes, ss lines are going in as well, and rotors)...

so basically im swapping out my rotors, lines, and calipers... where is a decent place to get calipers? i find rotors everywhere, but i dont see anything in the way of calipers...

what have you done? where did you get them?

while we're at it, what kind of rotors is everyone using? pads?

thanks

FYI-Fronts-I believe that's $75.99 each side minus core. If you "trade in" your calipers, $40.99 each side. That even shows loaded with new mounting bushing. I find that hard to believe.
Rears-$157.98 with trade in
Check autozone.com

I actually scored one of quad pistons at napa for $45. I evened up my set because someone had put and FD caliper on my right front at some time. They charged me a $78 core though.
