Calipers: Centric reman vs Power Stop reman

[Omahaug]

Anyone use either of these? Both? Did you regret your choice? How did it turn out?

Looking to get some calipers and these both look attractive so I can't decide.

If it's like other reman products (CVs, Steering racks etc) it's all the same one.

FWIW, I got reman ones from advance for the rear of my Liberty. One stuck 3 years later, the other one is still ok knock on wood! I'd seriously consider just getting them locally for ease of exchange.

they're literally all the same. just get some from advance with a coupon code. less hassle on core returns.

I ordered Centric remans from RockAuto for my Excursion. The caliper castings had the Ford emblem in them, so they at least started out as OEM,FWIW. Only a couple months old, but working great.

I buy power stop products for all of my tow trucks.

Centric remans work decently well - but they tend to rust quicker.

The best reman calipers are the ones that are coated to stop the rust. Cardone Ultra, Napa Eclipse, or any other coated caliper.

Whatever coating they use does seem thin compared to the paint on many better remans, but other than that, the quality is great. They seem to do a very good job of cleaning up their cores, or picking good cores. I bought a Centric reman for my 1994 Ranger, and it looked brand new.

Installed reman Centric calipers on wife's car. Not too happy with my choice. It appears Centric does not recoat surfaces with anti corrosion treatment during the reman process. Rust like crazy. Work well though.

Centric SUCKS!
