I recommend OEM brake caliper parts. Have had lot of problems with K&L. There may be other passable options but why take chances?

Oh, and I'd wait until you have the calipers apart before ordering parts. If the pistons are pitted they will need to be replaced.

K&L is made in Japan and the parts don't fit.
