I just obtained a set of SBP disc brakes, labeled only "383 A-body". They look like the 4-piston K-H BBP ones on my other car. Question: can I get a rebuild kit and pads for these calipers? Is a Raybestos MC 36388 master cylinder the best choice for a non-power brake, 67 A body? Going SBP to save $ and maybe #'s. |

I looked at Rock Auto, and found rebuilt calipers, Raybestos or Cardone. All were reman's. Anyone tried these? |

If all you can get is remanufactured, I'd go with ones that have a life-time warranty....................... |

The rebuild kit is less than $20.00. The rotors look barely used, but they look like they've been sitting in the yard for a while. Going by the pictures of the calipers, the Cardone 184406-7 @ $132.79 looks less chineesy than the Raybestos RC4176 @ $93.79 (both including core return), but the less than $20.00 self-rebuild is tempting. |

Careful of the Cardone stuff.... I've gotten MC and various other brake parts from them that were junk right out of the box... ~THOR~ |

Cardone rebuild stuff, leaves much to be desired, and their customer service sucks. Four different computers, in two weeks on the same car. All with different problems. When I called Cardone to see if they would repair one (of theirs) that I send them, telling them exactly what was wrong. They said they could but it would take about 4-5 weeks to get it back to me. When I asked why so long, I was told they had other things to do, and after all, "THEY WERE DOING ME A FAVOR". HUH. Don't use them unless, I have no choice. |

In the spirit of the DIY patchwork that is my Cuda, I think I'll get the Raybestos rebuild kit WK 518, and DPS 85002 pistons, and rebuild them at home.
