They want $94 per piston/cup. I may just drill mine for better cooling. Brake pistons. The stock brakes tend to fade

Does it make that much of a difference just modding yours compared to buying one?

I will find out. The Ti-nitride coating I am sure would help with stiction. But having 4 pistons per caliper would get kinda spendy. So will drill the stock ones out first and go from there. Unless I can get the 07 6r nissins or the 14's calipers.

Of course a before and after set of pics. My machine shop is not up and running yet, so will have to improvise or maybe have them drilled locally.

The pic posted above is a 32mm brembo racing piston. Which will work in my stock tokico's. I am bugging JT to see if he can get the price down.
