I just used one of the AZ calipers for a Corolla. I could feel a temperature difference between the driver and passenger front wheels after a long drive. I confirmed the difference with an infrared gun. The markings on the original and AZ caliper were the same. Mine even came with new boots, pins, and pad hardware. They only gave me one crush washer though, so you might want to double check that or you will need to reuse one. I tried to compress the passenger side caliper piston and it just wouldn't budge with the piston tool. I tried a big C clamp and that was a little better, but the driver side was so much easier to compress, so it was time for a rebuild or new caliper. I chose the AZ caliper.
FWIW, I don't mind doing the brake fluid change, so the lifetime warranty made the caliper good enough for the car. Toyota wanted $250ish for what I could get from AZ for $50. That also played a big part in my decision.
