An Autozone caliper swap will probably be your cheapest route.
It would be the way to go if your seals are ripped or if you think your pistons are sticking.
But any caliper set is going to start to rust if moisture sets in on them.

If your just wanting a new set because they will look prettier, I'm homophobic and I can't help you there.

Thats homo just stating something like that. Yes I want a new pair because mine look like ****. Would you rather look at a nice pair of calipers behind your rims or a rusty, orange piece of metal that looks like it will fail one day??
