Can you rebuild stock brake caliper

[dog2bert]

Is it possible to rebuild the stock front brake caliper?
Are the seals available?
i don't think the pistons are available.

Its a straightforward task. I have no idea what parts are available today - but a bought a new set of front seals about 4 weeks ago because I did a rebuild and always backfill my reserves.

Very rebuildable.

Did this last year, it's a pretty simple re-build.

Do our cars require DOT 4 Low Viscosity?

For my car on the street, I run ATE SL.6 which I *think* I recall seeing is LV.

Technically yes although I think in most circumstances it won't make that much difference, particularly at non extreme temperatures (cold in particular)

Anybody has a link for rear caliper pistons? I search for SS pistons on Bimmerworld but can’t find rear option.

Rockauto has rear caliper pistons individually or as part of a kit. Can't guarantee they will be SS but can try calling first or always return if not (hint: use PayPal to pay since they cover return shipping). For what it's worth the rebuilt calipers I got from them did have SS pistons.

Unless you are tracking the car with an aggressive pad compound, I would just go with OE piston non-SS for the rear.

What is the reason for using SS piston for the track?

Thanks, just bought the rear piston kits from them

Is there an option for upgraded seals somewhere? After a rebuild and then a couple of track days the calipers start hangup again
