After two race weekends I have a leaky Girling 16pb caliper- Before the
season, i rebuilt them with new pistons and seals, paying attention to
carefully clean everything including the seal groves before assembly.  The
seal kit i used was branded TRW, Pistons are nitrided steel. Motul RBF600
fluid.
Could just be a fluke.....
Is there a particular brand of seals that hold up better to racing use?

What sort of service life are others getting in-between rebuilds?

Jason
