Replacing caliper as PM

137k on her now. Looks like it's time for another brake job on the front. Considering I live in upstate New York, I'm wondering if it's worth it to replace the calipers also. Last time I had it apart, things were cruddy of course. Calipers were also somewhat hard to push in.

Looking at POWER STOP KC1866A
RockAuto Mobile Catalog

Anyone use these or similar ones? I put their brake kit on last time but did not change the calipers.

Hmmmm. And now I see these. I don't really tow often. Never truly heavy loads.

Calipers are cheap enough. Good idea to replace them. I live N of Ithaca, so I know what you mean about the !@#$%^ salt.
