Default 01 Protege 3 brakes

The rear calipers on my 2001 Protege 3 have failed. They have compressed a little and froze, they will not budge one way or the other.

So its time for some new calipers for me. Ive been told that many other owners have had similar issues with the mazda calipers or just issues in general with them..

Does anyone know of a good set of calipers that I can purchase for a decent price? my budget is real slim, but i want something thats better than stock, yet affordable.

Thanks for the help guys..

i don't think you can get preformance calipers for the price your looking for your best bet it to go to stock cause i know like the brembo brakes and stuff like that have 8 pistons in the calipers and your looking easy $2500 for the new ones cause you have to switch brake lines to handle that much pressure. i would just go to stock.
