I agree with Superman, go used on every part you can.

I think I bought a rear setup for $50 in poor condition. Then rebuilt the calipers, turned (resurfaced) the rotors and cleaned them, new e-brake shoes, and put on new pads. And a few misc gaskets and retaining pins.

On-line I like to use Pelican Parts as they are always easy to deal with. Never had a delay or wrong part issue.

Good Luck,

agreed on used parts. why are you looking to the dealer? location and availability of used parts? you will see about 4x the pricing from a dealer.

regarding the parts list. i went through the same thing and like super said, there are soooo many options and variables across different models that there is no one parts list to document. and no one has spent the time to compile a matrix. may not be a bad idea for some one though. i will start a separate thread to see if people want to throw in.
