Having problems with a caliper sticking and am going to get new braided stainless steel hoses. At the same time though, I want to change the calipers. Any ideas on a good replacement? Summit Racing sell Dorman for $33 and Bendix for $70. What's so good about these Bendix calipers? Is there others worth looking at? I'll be changing the rotors at some future date. Thanks for your thoughts, David

Well, I am a firm believer in the old adage "You get what you pay for.".
Bendix is a well-established company in the industry related to brakes. They do many heavy braking systems for large vehicles.
Which is more important?
Money or your life and your families?
Don't skimp on brake parts.
Maybe buy a cheap alternator, starter or water pump. But get the best you can afford for brakes.
