Wound up with Centric rebuilts after all

Tried to order Cardone rebuilt calipers from the Advance Auto Parts web site. However when checking out, for whatever reason the right front caliper comes up as "unvavailable" and gets automatically deleted from the order. I don't have time to spend doing a lot of shopping around, so just went ahead and ordered a pair of the Centric rebuilt jobs from eeuroparts.com since they have 'em in stock. Eeuroparts had an option to purchase a FedEx return label for the cores that cost just $10, so core return shouldn't be a hassle to deal with.
Since this is a brake system that has been out of production for over 20 years we should probably just be thankful that someone is carrying these parts at a pretty reasonable price. Hopefully they will work OK at least a couple of years. (Don't think I've ever gotten more than 3 years service out of any old-style C900 front caliper anyway, have pretty much had to accept that changing calipers every few years is "normal maintenance" on these cars.)
