As the oem design is a problem (with salt)- I want to know who has a decent line of reman calipers these days. I plan on keeping the oe parts and put Honda kits into them for spares. The parking brake is similar to the old GM Caddy design of the 80's POS. One side has been warrantied.

Raybestos makes all-NEW calipers for your Accord, so you won't have to worry about sloppy "rebuilds" ever again 
I like the Cardone brand on Rockauto.com. I've bought several over the years. They are usually much less expensive than what you can get at a local retailer.
I'd run as far away as possible. They don't always use new consumables in their remans, either.
What is this design problem ? I wonder how or why a remanufactured caliper will solve it since they're re-using the Honda-designed cast-iron body. An improved lip seal ?
That's the thing- I normally would have no problem buying a oem part- but they don't seem to last any longer as such, are poor value. Just another problem to have parts on the shelf to cover.

As far as remans- seems to be a race to bottom- cadone and the old fenco were notorious.

Do you actually use the parking brake? Rear calipers of this design fail frequently due to not using the parking brake regularly.
It's a MT6, so I use it ALL the time.

The rear right caliper started leaking brake fluid at about 70k miles. The leak was at the e-brake actuator shaft. There is a lot of salt on the roads in the winter in Chicagoland. There was brake fluid inside the bushing and it was all rusted. The shaft is pitted a bit from rust. The...

So- ordered R and L rear from Rock, Raybestos NEW so I keep my old oem for a reseal and spares. Rock's discounts aren't as easy to find as they used to be. So all in for both sides $330cdn vs dealer $370 for one side. I hope Raybestos quality is decent, ACD was in the running slightly more expensive- but as I understand it......they are no longer the brand I am familiar with- ie manufacturer vs reboxer.
