Front Caliper Repair Kit

I am looking for one of these for my 99Z28 I just got. Does anyone know who might have one. I called all the usual Auto parts places and they seem not to have it.

I ordered mine from gmpartsdirect. The part number is 18026160, and you will need 2 kits per caliper. There is a nice guide on reparing the caliper here.

Re: Front Caliper Repair Kit

if it's just the seals you need, u can pick them up at any auto store. check into it, because buying new calipers from the autoparts store is sometimes close to, if not cheaper than fixing/rebuilding your old ones.

The auto parts stores around here had the rebuild kit for LT1s but did not have the kits for the LS1s. I guess they're too new? I never checked into buying complete calipers, so maybe they're pretty cheap. I polished mine, so that's why I did not even look into buying new calipers.

Re: Front Caliper Repair Kit

Yea I just had mine powdercoated so no need in buying new ones. I just bought the parts from my local chevy dealer. LET ME INFORM YOU IT IS ExPENSIVE. 1 caliper was $68. I mean that was just for the seals. I definitely know I was screwed but cant do anything about it. Wished I knew some other place to have gotten the seals cause no auto parts stores carry the seals. I mean NONE.

Yeah, none of them had those seals around here, either. However, from GM Parts Direct, it is $43.87 for all the seals to do 2 calipers, including shipping.
