Paddy_SP Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I've not seen them any cheaper, and certainly paid more than that for the ones for my 110. It's hard to tell what the quality is like from a photo though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas90 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 HereI am refurbishing my brake calipers, is this a good deal?? Yes it is a good idea I do not know if the price is competitive Google stainless pistons and find out! The grade 303S31 is an austenitic 18/8 stainless so good corrosion resistance. Similar to 304S31 used in sheet and plate, 303 grade is for machinable bar. Make sure the caliper bores are in good condition and clean before fitting the pistons, if not you would be best buying new or good condition calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyNissanPrairie Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Ask what make the seals are, no good fitting stainless pistons if the Britpart seals leak after a short period. Personally seeing as its a major safety item I'd go with genuine LR brake rebuild kits-I did mine a few years ago, and they'd lasted 18 years up till that point.

ldtopham Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I bought the same set. I couldn't find cheaper elsewhere. I measured the dimensions to the an original set I had and they were identical. I replaced all the seals for genuine items. I have the front set fitted and working fine, the rear set have just been built up this afternoon. Purchase at least 4extra wiper seal retainer rings as you will damage at least 1 whilst fitting the new seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
