Rear calipers in need of some help.
Ordered some Centric rebuilds off that big car-part website.
Look pretty decent, slide nicely on the brackets.
One odd thing though ... the pistons do not look the same.
What do you all make of this?
I wouldn't worry about it, as long as they work. Everything is a rebuild of some sort these days (unless you buy new OEM), and they take a parts bin approach to everything. Lots of what goes into the rebuilds is used components off core parts that are deemed good enough to go back out. You end up with a lot of slightly different looking stuff as a result.

Kind of what I was thinking.
I just don't like the idea of piston surface area being different from one side to the other.
Considering buying a "pair" of pistons and replacing one (or both) just to make them even.
At least it's most of the way there I guess.
Just trying to get the buggy back on the road ASAP
Probably making too much of it but it's the way my brain works.
