hello all were is the best and i suppose cheapest place to buy the rebuild kit for my calipers on my 69 charger

I went thru this hell 4 years ago with NAPA, Car Quest and Autozone. The only place I could get them was thru O'Reilly's with a core exchange of course. I was told that they are rebuilt in Mexico. I did have one leak overnight after bleeding so it was a waiting game to get another. When it came in, it did not leak and I have been going strong since. I have a friend with a 68 Coronet who changed his 4 piston front calipers out for the 1970 single piston calipers.  The single pistons are cheaper and more available, but it can be expensive to change them over. Hopefully somebody here who swapped theirs will have an explanation on what you will need. Good Luck! TC

I just bought new calipers from year one for $125 a piece cause I didn't want to spend a lot of dollars on shipping mine out to a business for refurbish or try to do it myself and end up with leaking ones.

I have used Year One for other parts but found out that some of their parts are the same ones we can get at local auto stores.....and of coutse Year One marks up the price. I'm not challenging what Lennard said....I'm saying do your homework and don't pay for the mark up and shipping if it comes to that. Thanks. TC

Rock auto has them listed for around 80 bucks with a core exchange. 115 without core.
