hello all, where can I find OEM front calipers? (besides dealership) .....does NAPA, AutoZone, Walmart carry our front calipers.....mine are starting to rust very hard, I just want to replace them.....

I was going to repaint them but I don't know what paint to use? heating issues concerned me......

thanks

p.s. any links or websites with calipers .....

 

OEM calipers are going to be huge $$$

Rub them down and use heat resistant caliper paint would look alot better as well. You can get that in any car shop for less then $10.

 

Search on calipers - there is specific caliper paint but others have had success with rattle cans from Home Depot. Also some notes on masking for painting. And several threads about Lexus stickers for the calipers, clear coating over them, etc.

 

many years ago I use to be in the auto parts business and let me tell you that you can find an automotive dismantler and get a great price for a barely used part that has been taken off a car that has been in an accident. You might want to look in to that or like the others have said repaint them there are many good spray on paints that are available at places like auto zone or pep boys.

 

if you want OEM, you'll find your best price here...

they're a dealership, but their prices are half what my local dealership tries to charge

 

You can also try your local auto parts dealer as there is not a whole lot special about these brakes. I even picked up some Supra TT calipers from there.

Pic below is from PartsAmerica which is Advance, Kragen, Shucks, Checkers. Autozone and NAPA should also be able to get them for you. Generally though you will receive the one piece caliper portion and not the mounting portion even though the picture shows both on there. Just an FYI
