Default Raybestos Opti-Cal - Great Factory Replacement Calipers!

Sorry I didn't take any pictures, but, really, they are just calipers!! However, these are excellent quality, have a perfect finish and all the accessories are included. Best of all, they are NEW. That means no core charge!!

For 1998-2002 F-Body: Raybestos Opti-Cal FRC10966N (left); FRC10965N (right).

Make sure you don't screw-up and install the left on the right side and right side on the left! Ask me how I know!! Just remember, bleeder screw faces up (so air can release!!)

I also forgot to mention that each caliper comes with a new bracket. Makes it look SO much nicer!!

I had an old caliper that got stuck. So I bought a reman caliper. That was stuck too! So I got these new calipers, and that fixed it for me. PSA: not all reman parts work as good as new parts.

I bought a set of new Raybestos rear calipers for my daily driver Toyota and it worked out extremely well for me too. Even the caliper brackets and the parking brake assemblies were plated just like the OEM calipers which surprised me. Summit carried them and the price was cheaper than anywhere else.

I had nothing but problems with remans(tried Autozone and Oreillys), the parking brake which is built into the calipers never worked right and they just looked like crap and one of the calipers was sticking. Pretty much all they did was sandblast them and throw some new seals in and leave everything raw metal.

Here's a pic, sorry it's a Toyota but I'd imagine the F-body calipers are the same quality
