Just replaced the seals on my AP Racing calipers , ive suffered from some brake issues that im hoping ive now cured , i'll tell you tomorrow after testing at Brands Hatch . The shit that came out of the calipers after i pulled the pistons out would make you cry , these have been bled on numerous occasions and only run on Motul Racing fluid yet still they were full of water and shredded bits of seal ! Sod using these on the road , if you dont have dust seals in your calipers , get real familiar with this job !!

You pay a lot of money for these things so take good care of them ! Caught these before the seals fell apart and the pistons got damaged , Titanium ones are over Ł100 each piston , there are 12 do the math ! Lets hope new seals , fluid and DS 3000's do the job !!

Shit i think i best get min overhauled in the winter just as a precausion then Tony did anything happen to highlt this problem with the brakes? so i can keep an eye out for it

Yeah , they didn't fookin work ,. lol . No a bit fadey and no significant bite , also a pump needed every now and again , you probably wont notice anything on an ABS system as the pump applies over 700psi , a bias box splits the load in half so you notice it more ! Cylinder size reduction next i think .
