I am upgrading to TT brakes and was wondering if i should replace all the seals in the calipers? Would any other place other then Mr T have these kits.

I would suggest getting them cleaned and kitted. The kits are not expensive, labour would be more than the kits.

I installed the kits myself. It wasn't that difficult, just fiddly. The hardest part was getting the cylinders out. I used compressed air in the end.

That is good news Simon, i like a bit of diy. So will i just be able to go to toyota and ask for a caliper kit for twin turbo brakes, or do i have to order the seals individually?

The seals all come as a kit, but from memory the slide bushes you have to order separately....

Someone may want to confirm or deny that though

When I bought the kit (asked Toyota for a 'brake caliper seal kit) I got the seals for pistons, the rubber boots that protect the pistons, the springs to fix the boots in place, replacement rubbers for the caliper sliders and some pink grease in a sachet.
