Best available calipers for 1980 262c? 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be Nick Barbieri on  Sun Sep 26 11:26 CST 2004 [RELATED]

What are the best available calipers for a 1980 262c? My dad and I are replacing all the braking components and we wanted to get the best out there. Another thing, all we could find were rebuilt calipers for the rear brakes. Does anyone sell new calipers for the rear? And if not, are rebuilt ones just as good?

Thanks in advance,
Nick

      Yeah, we were wondering if the calipers from Advance Auto would be comperable to the ones from Groton. The brand Advance carries is Wagoner. We've gotten quite a bit of parts from Groton, like SS brake lines, but if we can get things local at the same quality, we figured we might as well do that.
