Brake Piston Re-Build - StopTech

[beattiecj]

Hi All...

I know this has been covered in various threads.

Can anyone provide their feedback on the StopTech Piston Rebuild kit for the 135i calipers, its a bit cheaper than the RB one maybe $150ish.

Do the seals crack after just a track day or two
Any issues with the pistons themselves?
Any other input?


Thanks

I've been using this kit from Turner:

After installing it, I've been replacing just the seals (not the pistons) every two years - maybe 30 track days a year. The pistons are doing fine.
The dust boots will still melt away, but the seals (at least for me) stay good for a good number of track days.

Perfect, exactly what I was hoping to hear... ordered this last week. Appreciate the feedback.
