one thing I've learned about rebuilds: Tear the engine down and spec everything out before you purchase the parts. That way you will know what your highest priorities are budget-wise. There are widely varying costs between the different kits and the parts in those kits.

2mm is stock, 3mm will require machining the rotors.
If you're on a budget, forget the 3mm seals unless you absolutely must.
