Caliper and piston rebuild kits

[RS23VOA]

What do you guys use for rebuild kits for your brakes? I have the originals from my car and would like to use them instead of random cardone rebuilds. I have KH 80012 calipers and the 2881637 wheel cylinders. American made would be preferred. Thanks

You can get rebuild kits a lot of places. I have rebuilt a lot of claipers and cylinders in the past; the main thing is to clean it up well and then to look for any rust pits in the inside surface, and rust pits in the caliper pistons. If there are any pits, then your odds of a rebuild lasting is very low. Honing the wheel cylinder bores is important; if not pitted, you can do this with your finger and a strip of 220 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper. Similarly, the bore in a caliper needs to be very well honed to last well.
