• Piston and seal rebuild kits, plus pistons sold separately (RX-8 SE3P front and aluminium Porsche 944/928 pistons)
• High temperature dust boot kits (28mm to 46mm) and pressure seals (28mm to 51mm)
• Guide pin kits, pins and clips kits, and pad abutment clip kits
• Brake pad shim kits
• Caliper guide pin grease and caliper rebuild grease, 50g

Match the kit to the caliper itself, not just the model name. Several of these platforms ran more than one caliper type across their production run. The WRX, for example, used both Sumitomo and Brembo calipers depending on model and year, so confirm the caliper brand, piston count and piston diameter before ordering.

• Caliper brand: Brembo, Sumitomo or Akebono, cast or stamped on the caliper body.
• Piston count and size: listings are specified by size, such as Brembo 4-pot 38/44mm, 40mm, 42mm, 36mm or 60mm front kits.
• Chassis code: GC/GD/GE/GR/GV, CP9A/CT9A/CZ4A, Z33/Z34, R32/R33/R34/R35, ZC6/ZN6, FK8/FL5, 964/996/997/986/987/982, SE3P, PD/OS.
• Axle: front and rear kits are separate part numbers; pistons, guide pins and shims are sold separately to the seal kit.

A caliper rebuild involves stripping the caliper fully, inspecting and honing the bore if required, and replacing every seal, boot and clip supplied in the kit rather than only the visibly worn items. Caliper guide pin grease and caliper rebuild grease are available separately and should be used on the correct components. After reassembly, bleed the system thoroughly, as trapped air behind a fresh piston seal is a common cause of a spongy pedal following a rebuild.

Rebuilding both calipers on an axle at the same time helps keep braking even from side to side. Brakes are a safety-critical system, so installation by a professional is recommended.

Where can I buy Frenkit caliper rebuild kits in Australia?
Chicane Australia sells Frenkit caliper seal kits, pistons and hardware and ships Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast. Shop by vehicle above, search by Frenkit part number, or send our team your caliper brand, piston count and piston size if you need help.

Does a Frenkit kit suit my exact model and year?
It depends on which caliper your car was built with, not just the model name. Check the caliper brand (Sumitomo, Brembo, Akebono or Advics), the piston count and the piston diameter against the kit listing before buying.

Which Frenkit kit suits a GR Yaris or GR Corolla?
We list a front seal rebuild kit and a front piston and seal rebuild kit for the 4-pot 38mm calipers on the Toyota GR Yaris (GXPA16) and GR Corolla (GZEA14).

Are pistons included in every kit?
No. Some listings are seal-only rebuild kits, while others are piston and seal kits. Pistons are also sold individually for cars such as the Mazda RX-8 (SE3P) and Porsche 944/928.

Should both calipers on an axle be rebuilt together?
It is generally recommended. Rebuilding one side and leaving the other worn can lead to uneven braking and uneven pad wear.
