michael Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I might have a go at the Budweg stuff for this one - I can get a front service kit (BCK4313) for 10.12, pistons come in at 11.08 (BCP4334) - for the rears it's 7.53 for the service kit (BCK4019) and 10.92 for the pistons (BCP4027) - all from http://www.brakeparts.co.uk - I might even be able to save a bit on that too as I have a discount with them. Worth a risk for the price of a few beers or not worth it? Pins will still be Toyota but I'm sure I can push the boat out on those if I don't feed the cats for a week to compensate for the huge loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Personally, I wouldn't change pistons - I'd change the caliper. It's a critical component. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon F Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Personally, I wouldn't change pistons - I'd change the caliper. It's a critical component. Any particular reason John? I've been rebuilding calipers for years with new pistons and seals and never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 If the pistons are so worn they need replacing, what does that say about the caliper body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon F Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 If the pistons are so worn they need replacing, what does that say about the caliper body? The main reason for changing pistons is for damage to the tops of the pistons, above the seal. Supra pistons are chromed and this can wear off where the top of the piston rubs against the back of the pad / anti squeal shim. If the dust boot is damaged, that will expose more of the piston to the elements. Obvously if the bore is history the caliper needs to go in the bin, but changing pistons is fine by me.
