Autozone is a store that sells parts. Regular oem calipers sold at autozone aren't garbage cuz they're oem. Plus it's only like 35$ after core charge

I went through 4, in a weekend, before going to napa.

The last one they gave me wasn't even new... the thing was VERY beaten. all of them leaked, one didn't work at all. (piston didn't move)

one of mine was pretty bad. (caliper pins were seized) so i had to. but the napa calipers were excellent.

I've used autozone calipers on other cars... no problems. but had ALOT of trouble with the ones for mine. Maybe it was just my local store, i don't know.

I'm thinking its just your local store as its supose to be the same stuff for remand from autozone to napa however if I have the choice its napa products for my vehicles
