Default New brake calipers

Does anyone have any experience with the various NEW brake calipers being offered? Wondering if they are cheap knockoffs or actual OEM units that have been professionally rebuilt. I of course could just rebuild mine if they are like any old calipers, anything tricky about them?

The stock calipers are very simple. If it were me, i would simply rebuild them. paint or powder coat them while they are off.

If your calipers are sticking, I would just replace them. I didn't have any luck rebuilding the sticky rear calipers on mine, the ones I tried to rebuild were made of pot metal or something, and they swelled up, the pistons were tight in the bore?? I just bought a set of cheap rears off Amazon and they are working fine.

I purchased front / rear calipers from RoversNorth and have had no issues.
