WHat about using the caliper pistons from the zx6r calipers as they are of different material and have read reports of them being superior to the pistons from the 10 calipers.

i just put a set of zx14 calipers on my and they bloody rock!!!!!!

the feel they give is incredible and all the spongy feeling is done away with . also they bite as soon as you grab them . they take a bit of effort to stop fast but thats the stock MC . its only a 14mm . with a brembo 19x20 or an 18 i think they will be the best brakes around...

one finger stoppies :P . now i just need to save up for one

i think this is the solution all the 10 owners need. Wat about the Crim, 04/05 cause my Z now has 10x the stopping power of the 10 i owned! but its cause it has the good ol 2 pad jobby!
Is there any convertion like the CBR tokico to the crim ? i know about hte master cylinder but its the pads that are the issue i reckon
