Alright I looked online at mejestichonda and was looking at the diagrams of the front and rear calipers, in order to rebuild them and clean them up, would it just be better to buy them brand new?

There are tons and tons of little parts for the rears and I don't know which ones would need replaced. It also says there's a 60 dollar difference per caliper with (RMD) noted being the 60 dollar cheaper option. What is that all about?

I'm 165k deep on my car and have been having uneven pad wear, squeeks, goofy noises, and all kinds of crap so I'm just wanting to fix it up and get new pads again.

Just buy reman'd calipers from Autozone/Pepboys/local auto parts place. No need to buy new.

Hmm.. Interesting.. I am curious because my slider pins are pretty weathered too and i'm just debating on what would be the best route.
