Has anyone used John's brake pistons? Is the stainless worth the extra price? If you've used either, let me know! Are brake pistons from other vendors better / worth the price?

My car came with the stainless pistons but I did have to do brake work on the front to install new seals to fix a sticking brake.

The pistons cleaned up very nice looking brand new. So are they worth the extra money? :confused:

The pistons and seals are where the seal takes place. The cylinder can be in poor condition and not affect your brakes.

I had those installed in my calipers and rebuilt when I bought the car in '04, the brakes have never failed on me! I can slam my feet on the clutch/brake pedals and do the "Marty Scream." Comes to an abrupt stop, lots of fun when you're out in the middle of nowhere. :evilgrin:
