Best site to buy calipers/brake hoses from?

Is there a regular site that you guys use? I have one locked caliper up front, and one in the rear. I'm just going to change all 4, along with the brakes and pads. Probably should get tie rods and get the done at the same time, but that's another thing all together.

You can get the loaded/rebuilt calipers from Advance Auto.

For the lines, I got these.

These are the best and cheapest SS brake lines I have found. I offered them $55 and it was accepted.

Doesn't OT have a good deal on SS lines (and rotors)?

Wow, they're actually pretty cheap from Advance Auto compare to what parts usually cost for the car. Too bad they don't have a valve cover set.

True, $89 but with a little wiggle room and the option of ordering other stuff at the same time to save shipping.

Lol could be. I'm not dissing you or your products and services. It's just that tom is down the road from me and it's convenient. If they are your products then I commend you sir.

I did buy several sets from you Dayle since Race Concepts went away, and the ones from you were the exact excellant quality Goodridge ones that I had been selling.

I also bought a cheap set from the guys that lhop77 spoke of.
The ones off of E-Bay were about three inches longer than optimum, did not come with the clips or copper gaskets that Dayle provides.
Are they usable, I'll install them on one of my SVXi and see.
The aluminum clips were very strong looking...
I have had Goodridge on my Claret for maybe EIGHT YEARS now!
No problems, no issues.
