I need to get cheap quality calipers. How much do they cost on average for all four? This is for a 94 Sedan. I plan on changing them myself since I don't trust any of the garages around me, not even the dealers(They are overpriced and do horrible work). How hard is it of a job? I will probobly be getting an impact hammer, I heard that its hard to take the calipers off without one.
So what websites would be a good deal to buy from?
You shouldn't need an impact hammer to do the brake calipers...I did my rear caliper (and took off the other three to check for stuff) with a $20 torque wrench from Autozone. I can't tell you of a good place online to get the stuff since i don't really know of one, but you might be able to find a store that sells new/remanufactured calipers for much much cheaper than it would be from the dealerships. I got a new rear caliper for $199 from this place near me, $100 of which was a core charge that I got back when I gave them my old, seized caliper.
hope this helps some
