I've never heard of anyone changing calipers each time the pass are chanfed. You should not have to change your calipers unless there's s problem. They can last well over 100k miles. Just libricate the guide pins and check for torn seals/boots. Our originals are still on at 105k and 170k.

If you must, rockauto.com usually has great prices. You will just have to pay the core charge and pay shipping to send the old calipers back. Oreilly and some other shops may be able to get them as well and you would not have to worry about shipping something afterwards.

ETA. The rotors should be fine unless you get warping or screw them up by not changing pads.

Agree.

If anything, if the car is older, flush the old brake fluid out.

That does more to help the integrity of the brake system than anything else.
