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?
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.
