With no option for stainless steel.
Was this something that you added as part of your kit? Or is it just because I'm in Australia?
I ended up going to a set of Pro5000+ front and rear as they were listed as aluminium or OPTIONAL stainless steel (I got the SS).
The Essex kit or the AP Racing Formula kit?

Different kits completely..

The CP8350 in this spec has SS pistons. (in the spec Essex uses that is, which is for roundy round late model racers)

Edit: See this customer drawing from AP: https://www.apracing.com/drawings/CP8350-1CD.pdf

If the PN ends in L, it has SS pistons.
