    Hello. I need new calipers on my 04 Grand Prix and I found on e-bay calipers by Callahan. Now I would buy them from Tommy Boy himself, but anyone else, I'm not sure. After some research, I did find that they are a division of Powerstop brakes, which I have heard of and used their ceramic pads on my 99 Dodge Ram with no problems. Anyone out there every give the Callahan brand a chance? I'm just getting the hardware, no pads. They are already powder coated red, which I thought was kinda cool. Thanks for any input.

    those f body calipers and pads and rotor sets looks good. been waiting for some one to try the pads. calipers are calipers. im sure they are fine. at least they are powder coated.

    a set of ss brake lines will complement the calipers as well.

    You could get a good look at a t bone steak by sticking your head up a bulls ass but wouldn't you rather take the butchers word for it?

    Ok going to get these and hopefully "Tommy Boy" doesnt steer me wrong. If anyone else wonders about Callahan brakes, I will update on how they do.
