Default Calipers

I think my rear calipers are starting to sieze up and I was looking to replace them. I've been searching Ebay and other online sources but the cheapest I've been able to find them is 175 per caliper. Would a 97-01 Camry caliper fit my 2000 ES?

Thanks Vin, thanks Chris. I have some drill slotted rotors but I didnt want to put them on until I got my caliper situation fixed but now that I know I can use Camry calipers I may just do all four that way I can paint my calipers before I put them on and at the same time I can put on my new rotors as well.

I bought a pair of A1 Cardone re-manufactured calipers for my Acura TL for two years ago. It works even better than OEM since A1 Cardone offers limited life time warranty. http://www.cardone.com/english/club/...s/calipers.asp
Calipers came with rubber boots and washers, all I have to do is slap them on. Well, after I paint them with G4 caliper paint

I found the best price is on www.rockauto.com, for ES300 is $72.79 per caliper (LR part #192610, RR#192611), you can get $50 core deposit back by sending them your seized calipers.
Of course there is shipping charge but that is heck of a deal consider you get can a pair of quality calipers for half the cost. Google for 5% rockauto coupon code and you save even more

What happens when you brake? Wheel go crazy and feels like the ABS is going insane? If so this happened to me, I needed to replace all of my rotors!
