I'm guessing the front's prices are per side, if so it's pretty standard: £25 for the full set of fronts.

Seal kits are expensive for what they are.

Yep that's about right.

You can only buy the piston/seals as a complete set so probably better to look at it as £34.23(actual price) per caliper.

Just be thankful you have a total of 4 pistons up front, I have 12 and prices are about the same per piston. Am doing an exploritory strip and rebuild tomorrow re-using seals unless they look bad and will buy only the ones I need. :lol:

A lot of the time seals can be re-used once cleaned up in hot water andf re-greased but obviously if in any doubt, especially about hydraulic seals use new ones. Dust seals are slightly less critical especially in the summer.

I have just bought 2x 4-pot front caliper kits + 1 rear caliper kit from the US and the whole lot cost me around £25 :shock: I couldn't believe how much cheaper it was. Only downside is getting it shipped (most wont ship to non-US), though my sis lives in NY and she was has been home visting this week!
