I was looking at rebuilding my OE calipers, and thought it might be nice to get another set. My super lazy plan is to buy a rebuilt set now, swap, rebuild the calipers I take off later sometime later, and have a set ready to go next time I need it.

So I'm wondering about rebuilt calipers, and not found much information about them, but surely others have had the same brilliant idea to defer and decompress work!

I've found Centric and A1 Cardone :

Centric:
Calipers Posi-Quiet Loaded Evolution Models Rear Left 142.46532
Calipers Posi-Quiet Loaded Evolution Models Rear Right 142.46531
Calipers Posi-Quiet Loaded Evolution Models Front Left 142.46086
Calipers Posi-Quiet Loaded Evolution Models Front Right 142.46085

Cardone :

Front Right 2.0 Liters and Turbocharged OE Metal Piston 19-6235
Front Left 2.0 Liters and Turbocharged OE Metal Piston 19-6234
Rear Right 2.0 Liters and Turbocharged OE Metal Piston 19-6236
Rear Left 2.0 Liters and Turbocharged OE Metal Piston 19-6237

Shopping around, I've found that both can be not-insanely priced without a core refund.

Does anyone have experience with these? How are each finished, and what is the quality of the rebuild? Any problems? Comparisons? Other options (other than the obvious rebuild some from a junk yard - that fronts, not defers work).

 

Bump!

Looking at this again before the season starts.

 

They don't take long to rebuild. I would find a good used set and get rebuild kits from Girodisc and call it good.
