Default need new front calipers.. fuggg help

ok I have 1998 Z28.. Just got the car and went to do a bleed and the calipers are all sorts of fucked up..

what other years will fit mine (im not looking to upgrade for 1,000 dollars so dont even post that I should)

ie will T/A, Vette, SS 98-02 calipers work..?

also should I just get them from autozone? they were 56 dollars a piece but idk how much they go for used on a part out..

All f-bodies front calipers 98+ will work it doesn't matter if its for a V6 or V8. The corvette ones will not just bolt up

You have a few options. You can go to the super-cool Corvette calipers and rotors which will be a pretty decent upgrade from the 12-inch rotor to the 13-inch rotor. Your other option is any 98-02 F-body - Yes, they came with the same brakes. Finally, you could just rebuild them.

What's messed up on them? If it's just the dust boots that's an easy repair.
