not anymore,its cheaper to make 1 caliper which can be used either side and then brackets to suit each individual application
the old APs which i used to use on my rally cars where handed and were unique to each car,nowerdays you just buy a caliber and brackets to suit any car produstions cost are less and you can mix and match APs products
