I thought the same thing about Callahan, but I didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong :-) is there a particular brand you fine folks would recommend for what I'm looking for? Where I am, for some reason the RockAuto catalog won't load!

What's it say on the box? Because, well... Tell you what, I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's *** but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

*sigh* I feel good for accidentally bringing folks together and giving them a laugh, but I'm nowhere closer to finding awesome calipers! I think I may actually drop the $700-800 for Power Stop calipers, pads, and zinc-plated rotors. They seem to be making people happy.

I know this likely doesn't help much but I'm not the type of guy to test brands out and they are either untested on this forum or unpopular.

Here's a recent thread about upgrading, although it's confusing in places, you can get the info you need there...
