hello all.
quick question when needing to replace the brake caliper seals- do you replace with the original from Toyota or from Midas (cheaper)?

If you have the calipers with the large and small piston, then you need this:
2 x Front disk caliper overhaul seal kit - M1054S Motopart RK5.432.01
R 55.26ea Midas
Works for me

Re: Brake caliper seals SFA
I have used both and the dust covers perish very quickly but the pirate ones perish quicker. Also the ones I used from Midas started to leak after time so I got them from toyota and they are still in. Only the dust covers are off.
