"if its to good to be true then leave it alone cause it probally is... local parts stores are good for fluids, lubes, tools, hardware..... THATS IT!

But that's my opinion. But in the rare event that a local parts syote carries the same brand of calipers identical to OEM then do some more research before buying them. Sometimes trying to sage a few extra $$ could end up costing you $$$$ down the road, because the quality was so cheap.....
I usually do buy from them. But, it doesn't say what brand their is, if there is a core return, etc. So, with shipping, return shipping for core if needed, etc...could be closer to $200. I found the OEM was Lucas.
