What brand calipers?

I have a 2008 Honda Civic LX automatic transmission sedan (102,000 miles). What brand calipers should I get? Any brands to avoid? Is it ok to get remanufactured calipers? Does coated or uncoated matter if I live in Philadelphia, PA? I had very premature brake pad wear on both sides. I looked at the caliper and the rubber dust cover seal on the piston is torn on both. On one of the calipers, the rubber boots on the slide guide pins weren't attached to the caliper, just to the pin. The pins were all gunked up although I put fresh sil glyde in there a year ago. Anyway, I don't feel like rebuilding the calipers, and I don't think they're that expensive, so I was just going to get new ones. Do new calipers usually come with everything including guide pins and the rubber boots? I've seen some online that say they don't include the bracket. I guess I can just use my original bracket? Thanks

Re: What brand calipers?

I would recommend a coated set to avoid rust in the future. Most sets do come with the caliper, bracket, and all hardware. Make sure you get one of these sets.
