Napa calipers?
Getting ready to upgrade my rotors and pads. It will cost about 50 bucks to rebuild my calipers or spend another 80 and just get the napa remanufactured calipers ???? Are they any good ???

You don't have to change calipers when doing brakes.

I called ford and those pin kits cost $23 each. makes sense to me to just spend the extra $90 and get calipers that have all new seals,dust boots, pins,zerks, cleaned, tested and ready to go for another 4-5 yrs
