cheapest place for rebuilt calipers online?

shopped around on the net.. ebay, etc and im looking for rebuilt calipers for a q45 b/c im doing a brake upgrade.. i know most rubuild companies have the rebuilt calipers that look totally different from oem and some dont.. also i probably wont have a core charge unless i spend 100 bucks from a junk yard... so if any of you guys have any reccomendations or prior experience with any sites or companies let me know.. thanks guys

I dont know about either one but I sure somewhere the don't remain OEM. The alum ones where just a $1 more than the iron but they could only get one of them so I got the iron ones

A general google search is fine since calipers are calipers.

I looked at doing it, and it's pretty straightforward, but you need compressed air to release the piston.

No idea. OEM obviously will be 'best', but the aftermarket kits could be just as good for a lot less money. I just bought a rebuilt for $110 from Napa.
