Doug Rippie sells stainless steel pistons for the C5/C6 and C6Z calipers. The stock pieces are apparently aluminum. Can anyone confirm what type of piston the CTS-V calipers have? If not stainless steel, would either of these parts be compatible with the CTS-V calipers?

If you were to replace aluminum with stainless, just keep in mind the different expansion rates of the materials, when you machine them, etc...I imagine a good shop will do this, but if you were to do this yourself, etc...doubt this is a big consideration, but maybe it takes a little more hydraulic 'power' to move SS vs. alum. Probably not, though on such a small movement.
