AutoZone has them too but they're expensive as hell! I was hoping I could get a used pair in good shape for cheaper.

They worked 3 years ago when I pulled them. They've been sitting in my storage shed since then. They'll need a cleaning and a hardware kit and some pads, but the calipers and pistons are all fine. It's going to cost $25 to ship them because they weigh so much. So, say $100 shipped for the set of 4?

Ok it might be a week or two before I can get the money out to you but I'll take 'em! I can get the hardware kit at autozone right?

I dunno about AutoZoo, but NAPA definately has the hardware. I'll drag them to the garage and clean them all up and get a good look at them.

Unless your pins are bad (seized, rusty) I would just reuse them. The rears are prolly bad, but the fronts could be either or depending on your climate. If you need new ones in the front make sure they are the same size pins as you have now. The smaller ones allow the calipers to rattle around and will proceed to drive you insane. I know from experience. That was almost reason enough for me to go with SN-95 brakes.

If I recall correctly the front pins are like $5 each.

Check rockauto.com.

Would it be a "Caliper Guide Pin Boot Kit" or a "Brake Spring Hold Down Pin"?

Do they come with all the hardware I need to put them on?

Caliper Bolts (aka: pins) are what you want. Two for each side. The Caliper Boot kit for the front you won't need with S/S Sleeves. But rears you prolly will...

Do the SN-95s require any modification?

Also Aerobird Motorsports I'm still interested in those calipers but it'll probably be after Christmas before I can afford them, that is if you'll accept a money order or cashiers check cus my paypals just about maxed for the year so if not then it'll be January sometime.

Checks and m/o's are fine. I don't have the hardware for them, but I will gladly pick up the correct kits from NAPA for you at cost.

that'd be great but before you actually buy them can you give 'em a call and ask how much and let me know?
