Title: Brake calipers
Post by: need4speed428 on September 20, 2005, 11:55:00 AM: I need rear brake calipers and ones listed for a capri are kind of outrageously priced. Does anyone know if anything else will fit in place without too much trouble? Thanks ~wayne

Post by: JJ on September 20, 2005, 01:26:00 PM: What prices are you seeing? I'm seeing 35-50. some are up over 100, but the others will probably work. I looked at autozone.com and rockauto.com

it's the core that gets ya.
