1995 F150 302ci

I need new brake calipers on the rig. She has been a DD while the Ranger is down, but will be sitting a lot once the Ranger is up. The F150 is used for towing and hauling primarily. She is mostly stock.

Should I get OEM calipers or go fancy?

OEM - we even used OEM stuff for bigger cars on the Lemons stuff with great success.

I was leaning that way. Hard to find anything but...

Too bad it isn't 2wd, the popular big brake mod is 04-06 E150 spindles/rotors/pads/calipers on the OBS F150's.

OEM. Brakes are pretty good from the factory. People are always looking to swap in rear discs too because they don't realize the rear drums are more than adequate especially if they are adjusted and maintained.
