Hi guys - I'm actually asking about this one;

The car same with a set of rebuilt calipers (A-1 Cardone) that have sat on the shelf in the box they came in for about five years. Think they are OK to use still?
 
I'd use 'em. Certainly do some "test drives" after install, but if they've been stored well it shouldn't be a problem, IMO.
 
Do they happen to be part numbers, 19-245 and 19-244 ?
There should be no problem as far as shelf life, it's common for our warehouse to have this happen.

Thanks Scott - she's a totally hoot, especially with the racing set up.

She's a bit quicker than stock too. Our 3.5 year boy old blurted out "What the heck!?!?" from the back seat of the mini van when I left them for dead doing a car shuttle the weekend. Gotta love that.

Had some expert help the boy as well(car was safely supported);

Nothing too exciting, the city did some repairs on the street last summer. (oil spots are from the 924S steering rack - ugh)
