I have used Powerstop Calipers Brake kits in two trucks. A Chevy 1500 High Country and Honda Ridgeline. I agree with you on detail esthetics but, these are great performance quality and the brake dust residual is so much better. Also they do follow through on their rebate offers. I touched my calipers up with paint.
I have Powerstop calipers and their Geomet rotors in all 4 corners of my XJ (probably pads too, don't remember), and I have power stop pads on my Caprice PPV (they are the cop special ones). Good experience overall. The caprice ones are really squeaky for one stop after any rain or fog, but fine after that. XJ is being rebuilt, so I have not driven it yet.
I put Powerstop calipers on the front when I did the 5th Gen conversion. No complaints with them, they stop much better than before.
When I did my mk2 VRT I used B4 passage parts, IIRC.
I rebuilt my front and rear for maybe $60 total in parts. Just O-rings and cylinders, they don't really get more simple than this. It's hard to find parts for vented girling calipers since all the guys with solid rotors buy the vented disc calipers as an upgrade.
I bought brand new girling calipers(33 bucks shipped on ebay c'mon!) Previously I ordered rotors from rockauto. Installing new unworn pads is impossible.not enough room.
Those would be the Girling G60 (not to be confused with the Girling G54 that came on cars with G60 engines). IMHO too heavy and, at least over here, totally overpriced for what they are.
Had them installed and im quite underwhelmed. Sloppy paint work and having clips not even color matching is making me want to put my stock ones back on.
Recently i had a 5 month old powerstop caliper leak and my brake pedal hit the floor. No warranty outside 90 days plus there was no availability for ordering another set!
I do not think the calipers are anything special. Just powder coated. I had issues with them (seizing) and replaced with refurbed oem Chrysler. Running the powerstop rotors with EBC Green pads. I would just upgrade pads instead of rotors and calipers If could do it over again.
