So.
My calipers are wankered!
Top of 2 pistons in one caliper has the "corky" stuff half crumbled, and they are just generally pants brakes. Tried bleeding, still as bad.
M/C is fine.
What are my options on upgrading?
I hear the K1/K2/K3 GSXR 600/750 are the best, and just require some 10mm tubing with an 8mm hole for using them on the ZXR?
Can I replace the whole lot (including M/C and lever?) with the k1/k2/k3 as their is a full setup on eBay atm?
I have some braided hoses on order, so want to replace the whole front braking system (minus M/C unless one is coming with the new setup).
What are my options, and what do i need to make them fit?
Cheers

Given up with the idea of sticking with standard calipers.

Dont forget the 4 pots from those bikes also fit! i dont think you need the 10mm sleeving either. Honda CBR brakes also fit straight on but unsure of what year.
You dont have to replace the whole lot as the original m/c will work (with the 6 pots), but i guess your best with the one it comes with since they are paired up for a reason.

I'm sticking 4 pots, but 'upgraded' 4 pots - AKA GSXR600 or whatever else will fit and be better than standard ZXR ones.
Cheers for the info

i see, in that case im sure they are a straight swap, you can even stick with the ZXR M/C, although i wouldnt skip a new rebuild kit for it
