Can anyone help me locate the above in stock from a UK dealer? Everywhere seems out of stock and really don't want to buy a new front brake.

Thanks!

Found the kit for a Guide Ultimate caliper but don't know if they will fit. It says 14mm and 16mm pistons which is the correct diameter but don't know about the length.

What issue are you having that needs the piston replacing and how much is the kit?

I had the new guide R's with the S4 caliper and got some new RS levers to bolt on as the caliper is the same across the range and only the lever internals change. I found the levers on eBay where someone had picked up a new bike and swapped the brakes straight away, paid £50ish for the pair.

I've also seen the video for swapping the piston, it looks a right pain in the bum thing to do!

They're Guide RS and the piston are sticking so not returning properly.

Same thing happned on the rear brake last year and tried cleaning but only new seals and piston solved the problem. The kits about £20.

you know, I misread the thread title and thoughts you meant lever pistons not the caliper pistons! Good luck finding them.
