Hi Guys! I have to pass safety out here and need new rear calipers, rotors and pads. My stock single piston sliders, are pretty rusty from ontario, one side has stripped threads where the slider pins lock in, not the best shape.

I was hoping to do the 2nd gen dual-piston upgrade, but here is the kicker. I've called every auto parts place I can think of in Calgary, nobody can get the 2nd gen parts, let alone 1st gen parts!!

Other then Dodge or Mitsubishi does anyone know where I can source some of these things? I feel like I'm driving the Lunar Rover its so hard to find parts for this beast.

Thanks!

I'm thinking now I'm going to order everything into an Autozone in the US, drive to Montana or washington and pick it up and smuggle back into canada! 95 2g twin piston calipers are only 50$ there!

I always order parts to a buddy's place in Salt Lake City and pick them up when I swing thru, usually 3-4 times a year.
An inexpensive brake pad option is to pick up a set of Wagner Thermo-Quiets at AutoValue. The front set cost me all of $65, and has outlasted my Porterfields, while delivering the same performance on the street with less dust. I even used them at the track two weeks ago when I took another performance driving course. For lapping days however, you definitely need race pads...

Just make sure that you get the correct calipers, cuz those boys at Autozone aren't the brightest fellas.
