As one who has gone thru Centronics (8 mos) and Cardone (2 years) rebuilt calipers, I'm tired of changing them and yes, I service them yearly with lubricating sliders, flush brake fluid by dealer every two years. So, when I saw that Raybestos was actually making a brand new caliper decided it was worth a try. Unfortunately these are for WG castings only and only the front but the fronts are the ones that have given me the most problem.
Yes, as shown in the pictures, they are made in China which is a big negative but probably unavoidable for something at a reasonable price ($90 each through Rockauto, no core charge). Nicely plated, fittings properly protected, minor hardware included and they visibly look well made (which I know means nothing).
Installed them today, everything bolted right up properly and they are holding pressure, no visible leaks. I'll go to the dealer tomorrow to get a proper brake flush and then track how well these hold up.
