    Brakes: M/C and caliper fiche selection help

    I just want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff here, especially on the front m/c and rear caliper and anything else I might not be aware of that will typically need replacing. I'm aware the brake lines should be replaced as well, and I'm already considering those options.

    Front caliper: 1 piston set
    Front master cylinder: 1-1 (model T) or 1-2 (model X) piston & cup set?
    Rear caliper: 3 piston seal and 4 piston boot?
    Rear master cylinder: 2 piston & cup set

    I also wanted to ask what are your recommendations for brake pads as Z1 only offers EBC pads.

    Make sure you open up the front and rear master and inspect the bore for pitting before ordering kits. The aluminum often is damaged by corrosion and buying a kit is a waste of money in those instances.

    EBC brake pads are decent.

    To measure is to know.

      Thank you for the advice on the M/Cs. Also what brake pads are better than decent?
