    haha, i work at napa :p

    20 for me, but they catch on to multiple buys of something pretty quick.

    i think the fronts are like $59 a piece. We could probably knock a little off though.

    People always underestimate Napa...i'm not big into their retail side: oil is too expensive, detailing selection is limited and expensive, etc. but for parts, machine work (Did my Z32 headwork for $700), and especially hydraulic hoses [dirt cheap, all custom made high psi]...A powersteering line that was nearly $70 at the dealer cost me $7.00 to have made at Napa. Picked up a clutchmaster cylinder for the Z32 from them one time and it was a rebuilt OEM nissan...anyother place would have been a cheap reproduction.

    my aluminum Z32 calipers have always creaked a little when sitting in place and pushing the pedal really hard but i've never had an issue with them otherwise.

    if they dont, they can be ordered and will take a max of like 3 days...

    and as far as the other comment.

    yes, walk-in retail prices are ridiculous.

    but napa deals mostly in wholesale (EX: goodyear, express oil, firestone... EVERYWHERE)

    not trying to pump up napa or anything, but rather correcting some misconceptions and agreeing with facts

    I LOVE it because I get everything at cost plus 10%... which is usually over 50% off the reg price
