Well I did some searching and didn't find much. I do not want to go to a big break kit. I normally use EBC Yellow stuff and EBC sport rotors witch work wonderfully for me. I have the SS brake lines and use Wildwood DOT 4. But now I need new calipers for the front and I am lost. The dealer wants 230.00 for each front caliper. IMO way too muck money for a stock caliper. Local parts houses have a fermo (sp) reman. I am not sure if I trust that. Need some good opinions on what to get. I have seen Cardone and Centric but I have no experience with them. Help?!

Try rock auto, or even possibly rebuilding your originals?

I am not wanting to rebuild. I do not have all the proper tools needed for that. Do you know which is best from rockauto? Centric, powerstop, or Wagner?

Also is it better to have a steel piston rather than phenolic? I am thinking of the centric ones with the steel pistons. Thoughts?

Well, the phenolic ones don't rust if you get any moisture in them. Even my SRT brakes have phenolic pistons in them.
