brake calipers - rebuilt units

[Jim Wright]

A typical rebuild just involves new seals and some lube.  I have Maxima rear calipers on my B13 (still working on getting the engine in, so haven't tested them yet), and just went down to AutoZone and picked up a rebuild kit for only a few bucks to replace the torn boots on this set.

If you buy from any of the big names, you should be fine.  It is still a Nissan caliper at the end of the day.

I've got a caliper rebuild kit and even a spare set of calipers (I've had them so long I don't remember whether or not they're good) but I've always understood that rebuilding rear calipers is kind of a PITA due to the handbrake mechanism, and it's easier to just buy rebuilt units. So, that leads me to my question - are any particular aftermarket remans better than the others? I do not take for granted that I can just walk into my FLAPS and whatever they offer will be good enough.
