Stuck Caliper? Cheap Parts?

I was told my mechanic that I have a stuck caliper at the front left of my 01 CL-S. It makes a screech noise everytime you slow down and the wheel shakes when you drive on highway. It also tends to get hot. Does anyone know where I can get OEM parts to fix it. My local Camco Acura in Ottawa is charging an insane amount for parts. Anyone know anywhere in USA that will sell near wholesale. If they can ship to NY State I can just drive over and pick it up instead and pay PayPal.

I was told if I can find a dealer in USA that will sell cheaper then retail or near wholesale. It would still be cheaper then getting it from anywhere in Canada. That true?

andrew.. have you called partsource or napa. Our calipers are not expensive at all!

hell if you need new front calipers get the acura legend 2 piston calipers. they are 75 each. (hell of a cheap caliper if you as me.)

A hydraulic bicycle disk brake caliper costs MORE than that. LOL.

and shipping from the states... or anywhere for that matter is gonna be a killer. PLUS duties

In the US, you can check out AutoZone.com. They usually have the best prices on parts and have stores all over the place. I just bought a set of remanufactured dual piston calipers from them for $50 each + core. You can get stock ones even cheaper. If you go to their online store, they will ship to you. Check it out.
