Hypothetically speaking here..

Say I had the opportunity to have some stainless pistons made for our calipers, would the 36/40 or the 36/44 be more useful for the community? Eventually all sizes would be produced.. going to get non-stainless first.

Thoughts?

I think they'd be well received, especially if they come with the scraper and/or dust boots. The early 951 (which are plentiful) use an odd 36/38 size piston with scrapers in the bores. If memory serves, and if still true, there are precious few options for those calipers outside the factory rebuilt kit, which adds up super fast since each $100+ kit serves exactly one piston -- so like $400+ per corner....

p.s., you might consider editing the title of this thread to "stainless caliper pistons" or the like. I think a lot of people will see the title and assume it's about engine pistons (like I did).

I can source the rebuild kits for those (Pistons and seal kit, just seals, or just pistons) and $100 is just ridiculous imho. Frenkit attempted to make a scraper/silicone with negative results so far. Let me see what I can do

I just received our first shipment of Superkits which include both the pistons and all seals. I only have a limited number of the following kits:

28/30
28/32
30/34/38
30/32/34
32/32
34/36/38
34/34
36/40
36/44
40/44
44/44

Ill get them on our site with full descriptions this weekend (hopefully)
