Rear C6 Z06 / Grand Sport Caliper Front Rebuild Kit, w/ SS Pistons Boots and Seal Kit, Set of 8, Standard

This kit includes the following to rebuild two complete calipers:

8 Pressure Seals
8 Dust Boots
8 Stainless Steel Pistons

Dust boots in this kit are made of EPDM (Black) which is the standard material as OE and has a temperature range of up to 300F.

A higher temperature (450F) boots (Blue) made of Silicon can be chosen for tracking purpose (per option above), however extreme caution must be exercised to avoid those high temp boots in contact with brake fluid, or pre-mature rupture (see pic below) will occur due to the material in-compatibility.

Notice that these RacingBrake caliper rebuild components do not include and do not need shims. Eliminating the need for shims lowers overall cost and more importantly allows more direct positive torque transmission resulting in better braking.

These stainless steel pistons are excellent upgrade from your stock aluminum pistons, not only they are stronger and more rigid than aluminum, they will not corrode and can transmit more brake torque but with less heat (about 1/10) than stock aluminum pistons.

Our pistons also have vents to further prevent heat transfer to fluid, allow you to run your brake system at lower temperature which means less replacement on brake fluid, and eliminate the use of titanium shims saving you down time, operating and maintenance cost.

If you are hard on brake and have been looking to improve your overall braking efficiency, and tired of replacing brake fluid and don't like the soft pedal due to the use of heat shield Titanium shims, look no more!

Q: Why do my caliper boots keep burning down on me after track events?

A: Because OE boots are not made for high heat environment so they can easily get melted under high temperature operation.

Q: Do I have to replace them?

A: Every component serves its purpose. The boot can shield the "heat" from getting into your brake system and ‘brake dust” to your pressure seals. Ignoring them can lead to more replacement in brake fluid, and down time in caliper rebuild.

Q: I heard some members suggested just leave it, by referring to most racing calipers don't even come with dust boots, is this a valid recommendation?

A: I can’t verify how true that is (racing calipers don't have dust boot) but keep in mind that those professional racers are racing for their sponsors, so they absolutely don’t have to care for the maintenance & replacement cost like you guys. It's also conceivable that those calipers are specifically made for racing purpose, by eliminating dust boot feature means cutting down the development cost and time.

Q: Is there a way to get around so the brake dust can be shielded but w/o having to watch out for replacement.

A: RB calipers are designed with “built-in” dust seal which eliminates the replacement headaches.

Q: How does your dust seal compare to OE dust boots for durability and installation.

A: Our dust seals literally never need replacement unlike boots type which requires constant replacements; installation is much easier than boots if ever needed.

Q: It seems those replacement boots are in short supply from dealers, do you offer them.

A: RB seals and boots are made with our own tooling and material. They are in stock for your calipers and we guarantee to perform and outlast not only OE but any other aftermarket replacement components.
