I got rebuilt calipers at my local autoparts suplier. The old school one thats been in buisness since the twenties(Graves automotive, Ontario California). They just ordered them from thier supplier. You'll probably have better luck at an older local shop and not a Kragen or Autozone. Napa may have them though.

How long are we looking at for the build and turnaround time?
And put me down for 2 of each

I should still have the ones I replaced when I redid my front end with auzzie brakes and toyota struts for my 72 rx2 . I will check tomorrow and let you know but shipping to calif from fla won't be cheap as they are heavy with the discs.

I used a strut from a vw for the front of my rx2 cant remember part numbers but all that
was needed to make them work was to grind down the cap on the bottom of the cartridge
to make the right length.
i got the part number from kyb a few years ago.
if i searched my old computer i might be able to find the email but it could take hours.

ok, i found a new set of shocks and springs for the front.
but what about the rear? i heard that bilstein has an adjustable one that origionally was for a 5 series but works. (im working on that one right now) but does anyone know of any others that would work as well?
