PBR caliper tip for buyers

When I bought some PBR rear calipers for the rear of my Camaro I made an interesting discovery... Some remanufacturers buy NEW UNITS to fill their inventory! One of the calipers I recieved was in fact a reman original with no extra hardware but the other was brand-new and came complete with saddles and fully assembled!! I asked the parts guy to call his warehouse and have them check the other 7 boxes they had on the shelf for another and BINGO! 2 brand-new units fully assembled for only $89.95 each plus core.
WOO-HOO!!!
Be nice to your parts guys, they can really make your day!
Haven't tried for the 1LE front calipers yet, LOL!!!

Oops... Advance Auto Parts.
Pep Boys, Auto Zone, and CSK all carry the same brands (undeer different names) such as A1 Cardone, Fenco, and AutoMate... My calipers came from A1 Cardone.
