Default Brake Rebuild

I'm going to rebuild all calipers this Spring. What are people using? I've read that some of the aftermarket products don't perform well. In my search I've been unable to find a Brembo/OEM kit. Racing Brake has the components. Anyone have experience with their kits?

Hoerr Racing also offers individual gaskets/seal that are labeled as Brembo.

Thanks for the help.

Sourced parts from Zeckhausen Racing when rebuilding mine. Good luck.

I used this kit from centric last year when I rebuilt mine and they seemed to hold up fine.

Go with Hoerr Racing kits for the seals. We are a brembo stocking supplier as well.

You plan on doing just seals and dust covers... correct?

I've had bad luck with the Centric the last few years. The smaller seal is the wrong size and makes putting the smaller piston in next to impossible. I would say to go with the HRP seals. That is what we've used with good luck.
