I'll probably use the DIY braided stainless I've seen in other threads. My main questions are regarding the seals and pistons.

Brake rebuild
I'm rebuilding my rear caliper and need parts advice. I need new pistons, seals, bleed screws, and line. Are the aftermarket kits any good, or should I stick with OEM? Who has the best price?

As far as the caliper parts themselves, go OEM; the brake line should be replaced with stainless steel ones.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

I second the OEM recommendation.
I also use the green vesrah organic pads. They stop very well IMHO and don't chew up the rotors as much and some of the newer pad compounds.82 GS850L - The Original http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/d...ePics067-1.jpg
