rebuilt calipers

If it were me ,I would go with the store bought rebuilds for the reason that is what they do for a living . Correct tools , methods etc. The local indy who only does it a few times a year lets say most likely won't do as a quality job as a remanufacturer. I have rebuilt many calipers , brake cylinders and master cylinders over the years. To be honest, what you pay for a rebuilt vs doing it your self is about even. Plus you just bolt them on , bleed and go.
