Anyone know of a good place to geta cheap factory replacement brake rotor and caliper? I need this for the right rear on the passenger side. Only need the one, but should I replace both anyway, or will I be good changing only the pads on the driver's side?

Thanks.

yes....change both...

SINISTER

That's what I figured. Thanks.

You do not have to change both calipers. Yes you have to change brake pads as a set but not calipers...........
and any autoparts store will have replacement calipers

I'd go to your local parts distributor like carquest or napa if you have one. They usually have very good prices because they supply to all the local shops.

Sounds good. Thanks for the help. I'll go check out the parts store and pick up new rotors and pads. I may not have to replace the calipers, but I'll see when I take it all apart.

ceramic break pads really make a big difference, which i need to get lol

have fun screwing in the piston on the caliper you dont replace, the universal piston cube is worthless on these....

Yeah, I remember the rear caliper pistons being a royal P.I.T.A. Isn't there a tool that is supposed to make it easier?

And I'm not really looking to upgrade anymore parts, unless they will cost the same. I'm probably going to be getting rid of the Stang for an upgrade pretty soon.

Got it all done. The rear caliper pistons were a royal P.I.T.A., as expected. I forgot to pick up the tool that makes it easier and had to do it the hard way. Took a little longer than expected because of this, but at least the brakes are nice an quiet now. I also sprayed the rotors with some black caliper paint to keep them from getting rusted out. Would have done the calipers red, but didn't feel like waiting for them to dry. Maybe some other time.

Thanks for the help.
