2008 brake caliper Front vs. Rear comparison?
Have a 2008 XLS.
I have 1 seized rear caliper. Thinking of replacing both rear with an aftermarket caliper.
What is the difference between the front & back calipers? I found a pair on Amazon from powerstop - but there seems to be a bit of confusion as to whether they fit the front or rear?
thoughts?

the difference it quite significant, the vented rotors in front are about an 1" thick and the rears are more like 3/8" thick, so there is no way the travel between could be the same, not to mention the brackets are totally different - last time I did mine, I got off of amazon since they take it back free shipping if things they recommend don't actually fit
