Thanks for all the clarification homies. I'm good now, but not sure which thread you merged Tim. I thought I originally posted my questions in here to begin with, but I have been really tired lately so...

Mike is right. Dave, you over think the shit out of everything. Just go ahead and do it. Test fit the caliper on your car first, then bolt your steelie just to be 100% sure it clears, and call it a day. By the way, the calipers came out nice. I saw them on Sunday.

I know I over think things all the time, but that's just how I am. I thought I was pretty clear on everything, but then I read deeper into this thread, and once all the speculation about different bracket, rotor, and pad combinations started to surface, I went into oh shit mode. But, I'm good now. I'll update you guys once everything comes in, but I'm in no rush either. I need my calipers first.

So, what you're saying is that you didn't believe me the first time I answered your questions?

Oh not at all. I believe you. It's myself I don't trust.

Did anyone come to a conclusion if you can use Coupe pads with the GS caliper? I can't remember, I know that I currently have GS pads on there. so my set up is:
Coupe Bracket
GS Caliper
Coupe rotor
GS pads...
when I was messing with everything, I think I stuck my old pads (OEM) in there to test fitment and they worked. I figure they should all be the same size then. please correct me if I'm wrong

I'm not 100% sure, but I think if you have a 6MT coupe, then they would fit. I know for a fact that my i4 sedan pads were a shitload smaller, so they would not fit. Since the 6MT has larger brakes, I could see why they would fit.
Does anyone have any experience with NAPA's remanufactured brake calipers? Since I fucked up my GS calipers (stripped the brake line thread), I'll have to dish out money to have them replaced. I think it will be cheaper to go locally, because having to ship out my old calipers for the core would negate any kind of online deal.

What's the name brand they use? We use DNS and Fenco for our brake calipers at work DNS is pretty good I only write up about 3 calipers defective every two weeks, which is good considering I send about 600+ cores back with them so I guess that's pretty good odds, stay away from Fenco though...so many defects

It looks like NAPA uses Eclipse? Shit, looks like they want $130 a caliper. Jeez. Time to check Autozone and Advance Auto.

Edit: Looks like Advance Auto has Fenco remans and Beck/Arnley remans. Do you know anything about Beck/Arnley? Also, Autozone has Duralast remans. I'm not sure that I'd trust Duralast.

I sell a shit ton of Fenco remans and never see them come back. Maybe there stuff in Canada comes from a different plant or something. I've had great luck with Fenco Remans. . . Someone is towing the company line and bashing the competitor.
