Default grinding calipers

While grinding down my rear calipers to fit my Prostars, we broke through on the caliper mounting bracket, to where the floating pin is. I need to get a replacement for it immediately. Other than a salvage yard (hit or miss), where can I get one and not get raped by the stealership?

i've seen the pics of people grinding down theirs, and its not a whole lot.....yet we've gone really deep yet still have contact! wtf. Its the correct backspacing, so i don't know whats going on.....anyone help?

What backspacing are you running now? If its a 15x10 which i am assuming it is, then 7.5 is what you need.
