Take them to a brake and steering rebuild shop. Having all 4 calipers rebuilt will cost less than buying brand new ones. Also check www.rockauto.com. Their prices are pretty good, although shipping for them is pretty expensive for some reason.

i would reccomend going to the dealer and ordering a rebuild kit for the calipers and rebuilding them yourself. you'll save a lot of money and you'll learn something about the car in the process. if you want the part number for the rebuild kits let me know.

Thanks everyone I picked up a new set of front calipers. I want to learn how to rebuild them the proper way. Just not on my car. I dont want to be that crash test dummy!
And the e-brake can only slow you down so fast :o) or did I forget to hook that up again??
thanks again ever1!
