As said buy a service kit from BR and do them your self.Its pretty easy,also helps if you have a compressor.Stick a block of wood in the calliper and pop the pistons out with air.

Not just go to any motor factors ?

They sell recon calipers on an exchange/return basis

I'm not recommending these guys as Ive no clue who they are, just using them as an example

Why not ?

That's how all such calipers are sold.

If you dont have an old unit it's either no caliper or pay a surcharge.
