Hi,

I need to replace my rear brake calipers on my 2014 toyota camry se 2.5L l4 (XV50). What brands make quality calipers for this model. I already did my rotors and pads using centric parts as they were highly recommended, should I go with centric again, or for calipers might there be better options? I’m currently shopping on rock auto and I see options such as powerstop, acdelco, raybestos, what do y’all think?
Thanks

Ideally if the current caliper and piston are in good condition, just rebuild using either an aftermarket or preferrably OE rebuild kit.

Rebuilt calipers can be a crapshoot, depending on the condition of that particular core that went back.

If you don't have time to rebuild, then I would use new calipers from Rockauto, and keep the factory ones you have to rebuild later.

Plug the brake hose banjo with a rubber plug to avoid draining the master cylinder dry.
