    Fuuuddgge…. I snapped off the bleeder screw on the front caliper when trying to bleed the brake system. I’m going to try to extract it, but if that is unsuccessful should I buy new OEM or remanufactured calipers, and why? New OEMs are $250/each, remans are $50-100ea.

    And if remans, which “brand”? Rockauto has like 20 to choose from.

    The 'new' stuff on RA has a 1 year warranty. Pretty sure i've read about people having problems with powerstop recently, but not 100% sure.

    I’d slap on some Powerstop S2712. All the same 13WL performance from a decent brand, and you’ll look like you’re rocking the BBK without the BBK.
