Brembo Racing Anti-Knock Back Seals
Just a quick note to say I値l be mounting these on my OEM Brembo痴 (44/38mm fronts) as soon as they get in. I知 curious to see how they値l do. I値l keep you posted.
Anybody ever tried them? I think it痴 pretty new stuff?

I would say the seal uses the fluid pressure in the caliper to generate friction and a one way resistance to limit the piston's movement back into the caliper.
I'll take some pictures of the seals when I get them.

Right after rebuilding my calipers with standard seals, I find out about this. Just great!
Let us know how they work, Kolia. And hang on for a lengthy post from me on my experience rebuilding and repainting my Brembos. I hope to have it up in a few days, complete with pictures.

Don't quote me on this but at VIR I was told it happens because "The little amount of play that the rotor has at high speed is enough to push the pads outward, forcing the piston to recess back into the caliper."

It's quite common in the Z because of the angle at which the front calipers are mounted. In hard corners, the hub flexes enough to push the pistons back a few millimeters. As a result, when you hit the brakes the next time, the pedal travels farther than you'd expect before starting to grab.
I've gotten completely used to it, and either tap the brakes a little before the start of the hard braking zones, or just expect the pedal travel and deal with it.
I suspect that if you track your Z and haven't experienced knockback, you're not taking the corners fast enough!

As for the seals, I honestly don't see how these really work, but I can be humored...
