Default rebuilding brakes
when rebuliding the brakes what pistons are on the the side with the bleeder values? is it the bigger pistons in the brakes?

Do what? Brembo's have bleeder valves on both sides. I am confused by your question.

Assuming we're talking about the CTS-V Brembos..each side of the caliper has one big and one small piston. If you're talking about base CTS brakes, I have no idea.

I think he is talking top and bottom, not sides.
In that case i believe the bigger piston is on bleeder sides(top)and smallers are on the side with the connecting loop(bottom).

One big one small on each side, it should be obvious when looking at the caliper.

Are these the correct STS-V Lamps?
