Default Who has ordered the O-ring conversion kit from VBP?

I just ordered mine. When I was on thier web site it says conversion kit for rear brakes, and there is another conversion kit for the front brakes. The price listed for each kit is $27.95. The picture next to the price on thier page shows 8 pistons, leading me to believe that the "kit" contains parts for both rear , or front, calipers. So I placed my order for 1 of each. Then I got a call saying I needed two of each. I asked why the picture next to the $27.95 shows 8 pistons. The sales person said he didnt see that picture :confused:
Anyhow can anyone confirm? Does the $27.95 include the parts for 1 caliper or for 2 calipers? Thanks for the help in clarification.

I took my calipers to one of the events in bowling green , vbp had a booth set up , they took a look at them and said I only needed the rebuild kit. the kit was easy to install , and a year later still doing fine. But, I like that they didn't try to sell me something (new calipers) that I did not need. :cheers:

The $27.95 (p/n 11309 or 11310) includes all pistons and o-rings for one caliper. My total came to $119.17 for 2each of those part numbers.
