No, you can get that elsewhere but it's twice the price plus exchange on your old caliper.

This one was covered in dust off a bike sitting.
Did have a like new set of replacement pads with only a very few miles on them!
Wiped off with WD40 the caliper looks like new as well but is that grayish metal colour where the original
and the first replacement were both black. Must be from an earlier year
Working good so far!!!

A tiny smear of red rubber grease on the pistons, and something slippery on the pins goes a LONG way to keeping these things working hassle-free, even if you do nothing else.
