    PMB really knows brakes, but what do you need? Something esoteric like those funny things that live inside the pistons or everyday stuff like brake pads?

    I did that a while ago. You can probably get genuine Ate seals from any of the usual suppliers--there are many choices in pads...

    I recommend you talk to PMB. Right now, their website shows a rebuild kit for only "S" calipers but at the very least you might want to ask them about "heat cycling" after you install new seals.

    There's a tendency for new seals to grab the pistons and pull them back, giving you a low brake pedal. By "low" I mean the pedal will go all the way to the floor and you may have to pump a few times to get any brake action at all. The cure seems to be taking your brakeless car out for a few panic stops. It doesn't sound like a good idea but if you can bring the car home reeking of burning brakes the seal sticking can be cured.
