Although, I admit this suggestion is a bit premature since we have not yet isolated if this is a problem facing all 135s or only a small run due to poor production processes with a batch of brembo calipers.
Aftermarket caliper pistons are out of my sphere of interest. They're easy enough to machine to size, but I would rather leave brake components to brake experts.

Titanium backing plates would be cake and are simple enough for the average guy to install. We've even got the perfect test bed to do the testing. :biggrin:

Will check our pistons tomorrow and let you guys know.
