I just looked at AZ online, and didn't see any 49.99 calipers, but I'll take your word for it.
Another chain store had the same price for TT calipers, only they never were in stock over a six month period, never will be likely.
As for the moral dillema, the stock SC calipers have a higher core charge than the TT ones anyways, when I checked. All I can figure is that the SC calipers are common to many other cars, and will be more in demand.

yeah I got the 49.99 fenco reman. calipers from autozone yesterday, but they didn't include the necessary pad retaining pins, I guess they expect you to reuse your stock ones. Anyone know where these pins can be obtained?

yeah, basically they don't stock any of it, it is dropped shipped from the mfr., thus saving them the overhead of having to maintain inventory. basically just a middleman, but its a great way to save money, and my rotors came in 2 days

The brakes will work on the car as many have done this (as shown in this thread ). The GS430 16s will NOT fit over the brakes though. Time for new wheels.
