Replacing rear brakes on my 1990 240DL sedan. Going with Brembo rotors and PBR Deluxe pads from FCP Groton.

Caliper choices are ReTech and Cardone.

Parking brake choices are PEX, ATE or Meyle.

Any recommendations on best brands for the calipers and parking brake shoes, or are all of these about equal when it comes to quality?



Also see See http://www.fcpgroton.com/product-exec/product_id/10598/nm/Volvo_240_Rear_Left_Rebuilt_Brake_Caliper_1985_1993_/category_id/250

on fcpgroton.com and the picture of the ReTech caliper. The part of the caliper that is just above the spring clip in the picture that holds the pads in is called a 'bumper' or 'ear'. You can see that it is attached to the caliper with a bolt.

Most rebuilt calipers come without it. How important is this part of the caliper? That is, is it worth taking it off my old caliper and putting it on the new rebuilt caliper?

thanks
