There have been quite a number of posts lamenting the fact that RPR was going out of business.
Not sure why you didn't see them.
If yours is a US car the chances of it being a B20F are WAY over 99%.
But if you post the motor type number (6 digits beginning with 49) on the driver's side
of the block above the breather box and distributor we can verify for you.
The first two digits or maybe the first 4 will be cast into the block and the remainder
will be stamped into a rectangular boss immediately to the rear of the cast digits.
If you get rebuilt calipers examine them for punch marks along the joint between the two halves.
The punch marks should line up. If they don't, reject the caliper as having been
misassembled. If they are not assembled correctly the fluid passages between the two halves
don't match.
