Caliper/Master cylinder rebuild kits -Z1?

[Ricko19]

Has anyone used the caliper and master cylinder rebuild kits from Z1? Are they good quality? WOuld I be better off going for genuine, or does anyone else make good quality after market kits?

Also, same question for the brake pistons? Genuine or aftermarket? Who?

I'm sorry if this had been done before. I tried to do some searching, b ut I have been very sick for quite a while now and can't sit at the computer for very long.

Many thanks

The OE parts are superior, far superior. K&L makes some decent parts, but their brake parts do not qualify.

Just to add to what Nessism said the OEM caliper rebuild kits come with pistons included although I believe some people have sourced Stainless steel pistons.

The OEM kits cost about the same as the aftermarket junk, include new pistons, and oh yeah -- the seals and such are made from high quality materials to exact specs and WON'T KILL YOU.

This is a no-brainer, really.

I used the ones from z1(K&L), brakes feel 10x better now.

The only cheap part I found, was the MC plunger boot....(not really important)
It was just very very thin.....everything else was great though.
