Its a good idea to replace the seals if the car is getting a bit old and the rubber is starting to perish. Went to get the ones from ebay above. Would have had to wait 3 business days for them to be black, and he had a red set ready to go, so I went and picked them up yesterday. Will either fit them today or tomorrow, depending on what I get up to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regular brake fluid flushes they should last a very long time. Edit: At least the new calipers match the car plus red gives 25 rwkw out the box!

I wanted A1RM's but NS400 were in stock, so I got those haha. Once I fit the new calipers I'll test out the 400's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
