    They can also be found at Z1 if you have any trouble getting them from Courtesy.

    I think listing even just the PN#'s would be helpful.
    It may not be a Z, but it's still got a turbo…

    these are the only things I didn't get because they are not available (we are not suppossed to take the calipers apart).
    Some people get o rings at hardware stores but IDK how they cope with brake fluid and such. I re-used the old ones.

    the bill from courtesy was ~$450, but that includes all new 8 pistons.
    Total, I probably spent around $1K for everything, including the messed up powdercoating.

    those were the orings I was referring to also. I had to reuse my old ones. That's why I was curious if there was a new source for them.

    One question… Isn't ceramic coating for keeping heat in? Not dissipating heat?
