RacingBrake stainless brake pistons installed
I've used many different types of pads, DTC60, XP10, DSUNO, ST43, ST47, RC6, along with Amsoil brake fluid. the brake pedal often get soft towards the end of the day.
i picked up these RB stainless pistons and seals from my sponsor.
ss pistons - http://www.shop.motorsportsperforman...per-BM-41P.htm
seals - http://www.shop.motorsportsperforman...rs-BM-41BS.htm
OE 46mm pistons = 0.18 lbs, RB SS = 0.225 lbs; .045 difference
OE 40mm pistons = 0.14 lbs, RB SS = 0.19 lbs; .05 difference
that's a total of 0.19 lbs (1/5 lbs) difference for all four pistons for one caliper.
oem dust seals all burned and cracked
opening up the calipers
caliper split in half
oem pistons next to stainless pistons
use compress air at the bride port and a used pad underneath to prevent one piston from coming out complete and not allow the other one to come out.
remove the oem dust seals
remove oem piston seals
clean out caliper
new stainless pistons and dust seals ready to go in
lubricate the pistons with some brake fluid so they slid in easy
all four pistons are in and ready for reassemble
i'll be at Watkins Glen next weekend for NASA TT to try them out first time on track. wanted to try them at Summit Point this weekend but my turbo didn't get back yet.

if you don't put something under the pistons to prevent one from coming out completely, then the other one wont come out. the pistons will be almost completely out, you'll just have to wiggle them to get them out all the way
