I'm assuming you know that NAPA and AUTOZONE both have the lifetime guarentee on the Pad and Calipers?
I travel a lot, and I've never been dissappointed with the Brake stuff from either supplier.

I seem to gravitate toward Old Dirty broken, but still fixable things.

I bought the whole nine yards from carparts.com for about $250. That included new rotors, new bearings, new seals, and rebuilt "fully loaded" calipers that included metallic pads and brand new mounting hardware. This was all made in USA stuff and it looked good. I was very pleased with the results. BTY, carparts.com was absorbed by J.C. Whitney 2 weeks ago but now I see that the site has changed (again) so that carparts is now again accessable. Last week I posted saying that they were dead. Guess it's not so.
