just ordered my set from the dealer, and found a place to powder coat them too, have pads on order, just need to get a set of front rotors, probably racing brake. All in all after the core return it should be under 500 bucks unless i want to go with the 2 piece rotor

since we are not returning the ~ exact same calipers~
its easy to do at kragen vs oeacura

I paid 72.99 each online kragen + 30 core and returned cores to store- credited back to my card no sweat

95 Legend LS coupe is what I ordered with brackets- use the end springs from the brackets but not the brackets themselves

Raybestos Pro Grade, #FRC10627 FRC10628

see my brake pics in chewnows brake thread- more detailed pics of the new calipers soon- many projects only so much time

So would you just mail your old ones back to these guys to get the core charge back? It might be tougher to fool these guys wouldn't it or would they not care your returning a single piston caliper for a double piston one?

see my post above regarding that very subject-
trained guys vs the same people who couldnt figure out what to order for you!
on the box I got, it has a small typed part number and in big letters CALIPER, nothing else about anything.
You can bet the dealer will require exact return cores- thats why they call them cores- they use them to make more rebuilts!
Kragen allows core return to store- you can order them at store and pick up there too-
I used the internet because sometimes I really am as stupid as I look~
Get yours fast before they catch on

Yes sir- I know I leased an 05 TL from your company, and now I would like to turn in this 1987 Geo in its place at lease end- thats cool with you right? I mean- they are both cars...

Core charge at kragen- 30 each- so worst case scenario, you paid 100 a side for killer calipers
What a deal!
Make sure those discount price deals include the brackets- you want the end clips from them and the dealer gets 10 bucks a wheel for the part- bracket itself worthless to us

Rears can't be swapped with legend rears. They are probably pretty much the same as far as performance anyhow.

Why bother with the brackets then? Just order a hardware kit for a 95 Legend, may just be cheaper?
