Ben, why not buy the "rebuilt" calipers we sell on our site. They are
actually brand new calipers that come with guide pins, boots and
carriers ready to install. They require your old calipers back as a
core for some reason but the "rebuilt" ones are all new not rebuilt.
Let me know if you are interested. They are $75 plus a $75 core
charge. The part number is 251615124DX and 251615123DX.
