What diam pistons do these have? And your old AP's?
You're going to use these with the standard sliding rear sliding caliper?

Yeah standard rear sliding calipers, i think it is 31 and 34mm or something similar to that! i cant remember now as was a phone call a week ago! i will confirm tomorrow (at work now)
Im really amazed at how light they are!
Not sure what my old AP calipers are but they are a early pro5000 caliper
So back to trusty 2 pots?
these are 4 pots, better put those fake glasses back on

If 31 & 34mm, then these will have around 10% more braking than the stock 44mm doubles. (So not too much front bias, but better improve the rear braking too.)

Isn't no dust seals a recipe for regular maintenance and/or quick wear/asymmetric braking?
