I ordered through concept Z as well thanks to your post. Outstanding customer service. I have ST43 calipers on my SW20 with two different piston sizes at each end, and they put together what I needed and called me an hour later.

If you want to be cheap you can order one set of each size that include the pistons (the part #'s that Bullwings listed above) and just one set of each sized seals. More than likely the pistons should be in good shape for most people and not need to be replaced.

So, more light shed on this. First Brands Owners gutted the companies... multi-billion dollar fraud scheme. The companies had good products, but none of the profits and revenue made it back into keeping the businesses running.

Imagine that ? Crooks like those guys take their steps from those who came before them. They planned it from the start, a common playbook many have used before. Not enough whistle blowers, I bet there were many mid-level managers of those companies who saw it happening and saw it coming.
