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
