We have an -08 race bike and I've been wondering about the stock front Tocico brakes. Are there any better piston/seal kits for those calipers for race use ? I'd really appreciate the info.

Race-oriented pads would make biggest difference. Steel braided lines and fresh DOT5.2 fluid before every race.

Titanium pistons would cost more than upgrading to an aftermarket caliper. Master cylinder upgrade, pads, lines, and a proper bleed are what should be optimized before considering modifying the calipers.

If you have a milling machine you can either drill or castellate the edge of the pistons near the caliper to reduce heat transfer.

Rebuild calipers using Brembo racing seal grease with even thin coat on pistons to minimize sticking that can increase lever travel.

Check runout of rotors make sure they are true.

We have an Accossato master cylinder, braided lines and we're using race pads (EBC GPfax).
