Default Brake caliper piston

Looking for a source for a brake caliper piston , my front right upper got gaffed getting the pilot puck out .

Seems minor but I don't like cheating brakes , may not interfere with seal but I don't want to take any risk .

FCP says no pistons available , wants to sell me a caliper . I could try a seal kit I guess ?

Girodisc may be a source , waiting for a reply ...

So much for an easy brake job !!!!

What size piston are you looking for? I have several donor sets of calipers I've been selling pistons out of.

We have the Girodisc seal kits listed by model correctly on our sister company- totalbrakes.com

I'm in the same boat. I have a shim insert frozen in one of the front pistons (2010 C4S w/ red caliper). I have cheated the brake Gods during my last pad change by removing the insert from a new shim and screwing it into the insert. I would like to get back to functional OEM so have been looking for a rebuild kit that includes pistons. I have been to the OP Website but only see the seal rebuild kits. Do you guys have pistons or can you perhaps point me to a supplier that won't require a caliper replacement?

The brake gods can sometimes be a hard crew to mess with. Yes we have the ability to order complete rebuild kits (silicone dust boots, piston seals, and pistons) directly from Frenkit for any Brembo caliper on any model. The honest reason why I do not have them listed is because this is a hobby for two of us and I really try not to eat into my family’s budget (unless I find a great deal on a car then I take my chances). That being said if you all want me to put in an order I can get it shipped to me within 7 days. I try to make large orders to save on shipping costs and taxes (im trying to keep prices as low as possible) There will also be more options in the future as every idea I throw out to Frenkit they produce (what a breath of fresh air)

So I can get just pistons, piston and seals, and seals.

Hi Warren,

It looks like I only have the rear pistons left- 29 and 32mm. Sorry for the false alarm!

I have a 2014 base Cayenne. The brake calipers are in rough shape. I would like to tear them down, refinish them, then rebuild with new pistons, seals, etc. Can you please quote a full kit?
Thank you.

Well, FCP may not support the inner seal ? Ordered and received the Piston seal kit for 44mm and dust boots only ?
I really don't like the email only ordeal when there are many questions, all these I dealers are going A I , real drag for specialty items !
