Well my stock front calipers took a crap, the pins rusted solid and I've tried everything to get em out with no success.
so what can I do to maybe swap a better set in, or what aftermarket is cheapest. Has to fit a 15" wheel if it's a deciding factor. And if there aernt many options, where's the best place to get a factory replacement?

I just got my ls1 swap calipers from advance (cored some eBay junkers). If you buy them online and select store pickup you can save some cash. Enter p20 in the coupon area at checkout and you get 20% off. Then when you go to store you can still take your cores (your order will be pulled and waiting). I buy all my stuff from them this way.
Good luck

Mine were stuck, had to use new vice grips and a heavy hammer to get them out, then ran a wire brush on a drill to clean the brackets out, and bought new pins and grease, been good for 4mths so far, no issues

Advance Auto has a 20% off brake parts special. Online orders. Get two new front calipers without brackets.
Coupon code: P20
JCS beat me to it...... lol
I see they have a $50 limit on savings. When I got 4 new calipers last year I wrecked them on the discount......I guess they saw too much profit loss.......
