I'm getting my calipers repainted, and wish to replace all the rubber...pistons are all fine. Does anyone have a source / part numbers for a kit for rubber only? Seems sensless to pay the extra $$$$ if the original pistons are just fine.
Thanks in advance.

Adriano,
I went through this a few years ago. At first I purchased aftermarket seals & boots, but quickly realized that they were flimsy at best. So I returned those and purchased complete rebuild kits from Sunset Porsche. The difference was about $100 and included bore seals, dust boots, pistons & grease (Brembo parts):

Thanks Andreas.....I was considering seals only from Girodisc ( about $150 less than the Porsche kits ). Do you think the Girodisc seals are as flimsy?
TIA,

I just had my calipers rebuilt with Girodisc seals.
They appeared and felt the same as the Brembo seals that came out of the calipers.
I have heard that StopTech are a very different compound.
Calipers are not back on the car, so I can't give you feedback on the performance, but I assume they will be fine.
