Caliper piston seals for 2017 Base Carrera
I would like to powder coat my calipers on my Base 2017 Carrera. Powder coating requires bakeing the calipers in an oven, so the calipers need to be stripped down with piston seals and dust boots removed because the heat of the oven could damage them. I'm worried that I may damage the piston seals removing them so I want to have a complete set of spare seals which I would probably install on reassembly anyway. I cannot find piston seals anywhere (Pelican parts, Suncoast Porsche, Sunset Porsche, FCP Euro, Autohaus, Brembo, and even major Porsche dealers). Seems like Porsche wants you to buy entire calipers for a damaged seal. Anyone know where I can source these piston seals? I can have the calipers painted which they can just tape off the pistons, but I would rather powder coat. Anyone???

You shouldnt damage the seals, the boots come off pretty easily, I did it with the caliper still connected to the car (must unbolt it of course and remove pads)
You will need to figure out which sizes you need. I have the S brakes so I dont want to give you wrong info

I have ordered from Hoerr before and it was genuine brembo dust boot.
I have used the following sizes for my brakes.
BRE-20487243 Brembo Dust Boot, 34mm
BRE-20487241 Brembo Dust Boot, 30mm
BRE-20487242 Brembo Dust Boot, 32mm
Def powder coat the calipers, holds up very well.
I didnt order new seals but you can find them on Hoerr too
