A1 Cardone Brake Caliper - Remanufactured for MazdA RX7 FC

[qagzie]

Hi,
Has anyone used A1 Cardone re-manufactured calipers? I'm looking to do the rx7 caliper swap on a KE70, just wanted to know if A1 Cardone Brake Calipers are any good. Here's a link i found

Probably just as good as any reco caliper. You could do it yourself, its just a lot of cleaning, maybe new pistons, some paint and seals.

Okay thanks... For that price, i'll buy 2 pairs, just in case...

i contacted Rock Auto who also sell re-manufactured calipers and their reply was reassuring... see below


Good morning,

Thank you for your email. The unit does use an aluminum casting. Every part we sell will fit or function like the original unless otherwise specified in the catalog. If you click on the "Info" page for the caliper it says "Only original equipment type cores are used in the rebuilding process." Also I checked with the manufacturer and the technician there confirmed the casting information.

I hope this helps.

Thank you,
