Let me warn you, there is a difference between
"Loaded" and "Unloaded" calipers. Loaded come with the
bracket and brake pads, along with the caliper
obviously, while unloaded is just the caliper (I
think). There is a MAJOR price difference, and make
sure you bring your old stuff in with you, or there
will be another charge ontop of the prices. If you buy
the loaded calipers, ask about the brake pads in
there. Chances are they're the cheapest brake pads on
the market, but who knows, so ask. Last weekend I
ended up paying $80-sumthing PER caliper, as they only
had loaded caliper sets, and it was a Saturday evening
and I didn't have time to look/call around. I ended up
throwing away the crap pads they had in there and put
in the ones I bought. Oh, btw, those calipers were the
rear calipers. The fronts were supposedly alot
cheaper. I think they said the fronts were around $40,
but am not sure.
For rotors, I bought OEM rear rotors, about $20-$30
each. For the front I bought the Brembos from tire
rack. Like Steve said, I think they were in the
mid-$40s. Good luck on those Brett...
Oh, and remember, if you keep the rear calipers, they
only go in by turning them ;).....
