I've had pistons and seals from Powerhouse and they seem good quality. I've had no issues and will be rebuilding my Z1R brakes with their kits. They also offer an inhouse refurb service but I haven't used it.

If using hollow pistons be sure to use 9mm thick pads non sintered,if using solid type pistons with heat sink, you should use sintered 8mm thick pads,not a lot of movement on these back discs and you can end up with brake drag and over heat issues...
