Default Caliper rebuild supplies

I have the OEM 4 pistons all around. I think 40/36 front and 30/28 rear.

Is this really going to set me back nearly $400? For some seals and dust shields?

It's actually cheaper to get the complete kits w/ new pistons from ECS Tuning than the individual seals/boots from Paragon.

Biggred in the uk do the seals and dust covers. They list them on ebay i think item 310617943075 listed for 944 but the 36/40 pistons are right i think. Looks like they do rears too, 40gbp per axle roughly.

When I rebuilt my calipers, I initially sourced aftermarket seals. I was not pleased with the quality, so I purchased 16 piston/seal/dust boot kits from Sunset. Everything worked as it should.

Repair Kits are listed (Gasket Sets) in PET for 40 and 36mm pistons. Don't know if they are still available but UK prices at Design 911 seem reasonable (approx $20/23). Just checked and they are all listed at Pelican.

Smart man.

I've been through sheer hell with some aftermarket parts so in many cases, its factory Porsche stuff for me. This is one of them.

I cannot afford to do the same job twice since this results in an unhappy customer and I lose money.

Yea, that's the most prime-time caliper rebuild ever.
