Thanks for your info. I priced calipers from the dealer, $190.00 cdn. Kits from the dealer $25.00. I bought kits. The pistons are perfect, the bores too. I hate buying rebuilt anything and have had previous experience with "rebuilt" calipers having stripped bleeder threads, pitted pistons etc....Nobody fixes anything anymore......I skinned the rotors and have bought new dealer pads so I sould be good to go....Thanks I should add to anyone considering using kits in the future, the drivers side was stuck so solidly I put it back on the car and used hyd. pressure to pump out the piston...Despite this, the piston wasn't at all rusted or marked.. Just shows how little tolerance these things have for a bit of dirt....
