When did you get the repair kit from them? I called today and they said they don't sell them. But they did have the best price on calipers so far a $80 each so I'll probably go for them.

I didn't have much luck with C.A.P.S I ordered two rear calipers from them and the pass. side one was crap. The casting was in rough shape especially where the brake line seated and the rubber o-rings were missing. So they ordered another one in for me and I drove down there to get it and they couldn't find it. Turns out they sent it to the wrong store. So they had it shipped to a garage they deal with close to me the next day. Picked it up there and it was painted a different colour, it was rebuilt with a different piston(not a Fiero) and it was a drivers side one which I already had. So I got my cores back and a refund. A mechanic buddy of mine says he can source me some quality rebuilds. I will say that the guy's at C.A.P.S were perty easy to deal with I just think they are too short staffed and disorganized.

Got a pair of AC Delco rebuilds through a buddy of mine. $20 more each than the ones at C.A.P.S. and way better quality, new slide pins and seals included as well.
