Just got my new calipers, did i luck out?
Ok so i just got my new remanufactured calipers from autozone, i had them shipped to my door for $160 after core charges. When i opened it up i realized they had "PBR" marked on them, correct me if im wrong but PBR are the "preffered" stock brake style offered in the later thirdgens? I have to say im pretty happy with how they look i have to go return the cores now but i noticed the weight difference between my core and the new one.
also can someone tell me why the left and right are designed differently and how do i know which one is which?
please and thank you
im attaching a pic so you guys can tell me if im wrong lol

they are the PBR,s however they will not bolt right to your spindles, you need the 1le spindles $$$ or modified stockers. And for 160 you paid for the pbrs. I redid my stock iron ones 4 or 5 years ago and they were something like 40 bux for the pair

The caliper you have in the pic is the driver side rear caliper....no spindles needed. The bracket should be pointing downwards.
