Quick questions:

Is it better to rebuild the calipers yourself or just buy rebuilt ones? By better, I meanquality of parts used to rebuild.


If rebuilding calipers is it better to get rebuild kit from Nissan (do they even sell?) or get rebuild kit from RockAuto or NAPA? Are they created equal?

Not looking to do a caliper upgrade like Wilwood or FasBrakes.
Thanks!

If it's the rear caliper, I have had good luck getting the lifetime warranty
of autozone or advance rebuilds. When the rear pads need changing,
the piston is usually stuck b/c of rust, so I go back to the store and
get a replacement for free. No time wasted. In fact, I have never
considered rebuilding myself worth it, front or rear.
