You will have to bleed the front brakes if you replace the calipers, but not the back if you do not work on them.

my brakes were grinding so i bought all new pads to find only the passenger side rear were grinding and all other pads were in excellant shape better than the ones i bought. it looked like the dealer never changed those brakes and they were all brittle and falling apart.let me know if the crack is an indicator to something.
I would say the passenger side caliper was sticking. The cracked lining on the pads leads me to believe they had been over heated. I would replace both calipers and pads and have the rotors resurfaced or replaced.

Are the Cardone calipers any good? I can get them cheap from Fishers. Seems like that or Bendix from Summit are my only options around here.
I had cardone calipers on my sunfire. They did the job just fine. They are fine for replacements. Go with them.
