I get what you are saying. Calipers can last a long time. Also depends on how the car was treated by the previous owner. I have had calipers last more than 100K. But a lot cars they seem to fail on early. My last car, a Volvo S40, both front calipers seized at 120K. I wasn't surprised, but it was expensive. I live in the UK and car parts are generally expensive here. Most dealers and service shops/garages will replace parts with manufacturers original or a quality aftermarket part; I would assume some are obviously longer lasting than others. I would like to know the best brands. Brembo are pretty famous on performance cars, I have no idea if they make cheaper calipers for regular cars.
