Default Single brembo caliper replacement?

Hi, does anyone know how i can get a single Brembo caliper, left front. Is this going to be an impossible task? There must be some cars that have had damage to one side, any ideas?

Thanks, Mit

Try Subaru.
I'm not talking about the monkeys behind the desk, I mean the mechanics.

I bought mine from a Subaru mechanic. Apparently they were overtightened at the factory, so come service time, the threads get stripped.
Customer gets a brand new caliper on the house, the mechanic keeps the "faulty" one, and has the thread helicoiled.
Not sure if there are many STi's around, that have never had a service yet though.
Worth a try.
