Only one problem with rebuilding a caliper is almost all mechanics won't do them over here because of the insurance liability. As a matter of fact, any large shop will replace the rotors and calipers just so the customer doesn't come back with problems! It's even difficult to find rebuilding kits for calipers. It's not uncommon to spend over $600 USD for a simple brake job, then they usually don't even road test it!

The pads are carbon/ ceramic seem pretty legit. All the stuff came in today maybe I will take the leap and try to post pics. Can I upload or do I need a hosting site?

These calipers are really nice imho
LOVE slotted rotors!
Highest level brakepads they had for my xj(on rockauto)
Okay so I took some pics and these brakes are really pretty beefy for the price... Gonna try and do some uploads!

I had a bad experience with Powerstop on my WJ, but I won't get into it unless you want.

Yeah it might be best to let ignorance be bliss for a while. I have used powerstop on several vehicles so I guess I am lucky. We can share bad experiences if I end up having one. For the price they are pretty decent imho. Like the harbor freight of brakes! Ha. Guess I will find out tomorrow. Argh off too work.
