Stainless pistons where from?
I have just removed the calipers on my 110 at 70k miles, 2010 vehicle and am looking to rebuild them with quality stainless pistons. Any suggestions on where to get pistons from? Zeus don't do them from what I can see. Cheers

According to this thread from the end of March, it's worth giving Zeus a call:

Just doesnt seem worth it imo. New AP calipers are what £120 a pair? Double the cost yes but no down time while you spend a an hour or more rebuilding it. Instagram @defender_ventures

i have replaced them with AP calipers for now, they were £80 a side front vented.

just thought i may as well have a spare set on the shelf. vehicle set is approx £120/£140 with seal kits. its my labour so if i have the time....

if someone was paying for the labour your right, just replace the whole caliper. Cheers
