Gen 5.5 Rear Caliper suggestions?

Hi All,

Looks like I have a seized rear caliper on my car.
I've spent most of tonight searching online for a NEW caliper.
Everyone only seems to carry a REMAN one.

Any suggestions for a NEW one other than dealership?

Thanks.

Been running on reman'd for years and tens of thousands of miles. Although with reman'd it can be a hit or miss.

I've used Raybestos products in the past with no problems. Mostly suspension components and a set of brake pads, no problems.

I just put Raybestos 6th gen calipers on the front of my 5.5. The swap was flawless. Fit and finish is great. You would think they were new. I've also been using Raybestos performance pads for years. I've had no problems.
