Just wanted to get some opinions regarding rebuilt brake calipers. While changing pads on my wagon the other day I noticed some leaking brake fluid and most of the rubber seals were torn. The rotors are also quite worn. I have decided that it is time to go through and replace all the rotors and brake calipers, since I want to keep driving this car for a long time. I don't feel that I have the proper knowledge to rebuild them myself and would feel better buying them already rebuilt.

Any opinions about the ipd vs. FCP Groton rebuilt caliper sets? The FCP ones are considerably cheaper, but that scares me a little since it's the brakes! Any advice?

Thanks,
Craig
