I need to replace my stock calipers with a decent aftermarket caliper. I don't need Wilwood since I am not racing, but just something that will last longer than the Lexus OEM parts. They keep seizing. I have a 1994 GS 300. Any suggestions?.......Thanks!

My first suggestion would be to post this in the GS forum.
After that, your only option outside of OEM calipers (which include other models and or sizes) would be aftermarket such as Wilwood, SSBS, Baer, etc.

The Turbo model Supra, 1994 on, parts will fit, and are a 4-piston like the Wilwood, Brembo, but are way cheaper, same size pistons.
These will require a rotor swap however. The oem Supra pads are great too.
I know what you mean about the binding with that type of caliper.

I have replaced all of my calipers with new Lexus calipers because they seized. This has to be due to a poor sealing design allowing moisture and dirt to get into the caliper. It then rusts and ruins the pistons/bore. Too much $$$ down the drain! This is the only problem I have ever had on my fantastic 94 GS300. What is involved in rebuilding the caliper? How reliabe is a rebuilt caliper? Thanks.....
