Where the Subaru WRX brake caliper is listed
We found priced Subaru WRX brake caliper listings at 431 salvage yards across 46 states. Pennsylvania supplies the most, with 1,036 listings (13% of the total) from 26 yards. Location matters: yards in Alaska ask a median $30, while Minnesota yards ask $121, 303% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Subaru WRX brake caliper cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru WRX brake caliper are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 206% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $107.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, rear, w/o electric parking brake; MT, LH, lists at a $65 median, while rear, electric parking brake, LH commands $161, a 148% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $75, while 2016 tops the table at $132. Parts from 2005–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 17 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru WRX sits 64% below the Mercedes S Class ($280), 66% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($297), and 43% above the Ford Explorer ($70) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used brake caliper: what to check
- Inspect piston shafts under dust boots: Peel back the rubber dust boot to confirm the hydraulic piston shaft has no rust pitting, flaking chrome, or fluid leakage.
- Check slide pin articulation: Verify that carrier slide pins move freely in their bores without binding, excessive slop, or torn rubber grease boots.
- Test bleeder screw rotation: Ensure the bleeder screw turns smoothly and is not rounded off, sheared, or seized solid in the caliper housing.
- Confirm mounting bracket inclusion: Verify the yard includes the matching carrier bracket and slide pins, as bolt spacing frequently varies across rotor size packages.
- Replace banjo bolt copper crush washers: Always install fresh soft copper crush washers on the brake line banjo fitting during installation to prevent high-pressure leaks.
