thanks man thats what i thought i just didnt know if there was an aftermarket kit. does anyone know if you have to do anything to the pistons before you put them back in their bore besides put the new seals in?

The two kits I bought, each had two new seals, and a new piston. Just be sure and flush the caliper out good with some brake cleaner, before putting in the new seals, and pistons. Put a little bit of new brake fluid on the seals, before you install the pisons. It will help the pistons slide in, and keep you from tearing the seals.
