Default Caliper pistons service kit

Seem to be expensive to service, I guess as they are apart its a good idea to change the seals and rings on the pistons....any advice, and where to buy in Uk, 1 pair of rear 4 pots is about £160 for the kit!!!!!!!

Try GPR for seals, I'll be getting mine from there if any are needed.

About £8 each iirc

Don't know what exchange rate is these days, but http://www.zeckhausen.com/Brembo/Con...es.htm#Rebuild seemd pretty reasonable, as long as you don't need pistons.

I had great service from Paragon, another stateside outfit. http://www.paragon-products.com/. They sell quad rings, dust seals seperately or in kits with pistons.

Reasonable pricing and quality Brembo/Porsche parts and fast service.

I just replaced all the quad rings, and dust seals. I bought one complete kit for each csize piston so I would have at least one piston if one should be damage or I should be clumsy enough to drop one.
