True. I just didn't want to deal with anymore possible failures in the future. I've come to terms with having to do brake flushes on all my vehicles every year now too.....welcome to the rust belt.

Personally I went with oem calipers, I had them ceramic powder coated in black and the caliper pistons Impregnated with dry-film lubricant from Performance Coatings. I’m hoping to find a more long term solution than caliper replacement every two years, that along with my stoptech front calipers hopefully the days of seized calipers are over for me.

That's....dirt cheap. I had the opposite mindset. I'm going to be doing new calipers every year or two, so I might as well get Napa remanned with free replacements... lol
