I need to replace my left real brake caliper. I decided to replace the other rear one too. I'm trying to keep the cost down so bought two different brands. When they arrived, I realized they are not the same even though both are the correct part. I don't mind having them look different unless that's a problem. Please let me know if both these, despite their design are fine or not. Thanks

 

They’ll both likely work.

One came with the bracket and the other did not, or are you talking about the slightly different castings?

 

Oh.. I get it now.. the bracket is a separate part.. damn.. missed that completely. So.. can I reuse the bracket that's currently on the old caliper or do I need to/should replace the bracket at the same time?

 

If you rebuild the bracket and put new boots on, sure you can reuse it. Make sure to lube it properly with Syl Glide or something similar or else you’ll chow the new pads up. Make sure to replace the hardware and lube the pad contact points.
