IMHO, if I were to try to tune my car on my own (don't know jack **** about tunning), then I would go with one of the unbrakeable seals; as I would rather replace seals than rotors and housings.
Call me dumb, but I don't get it. If you bend a seal, wouldn't it get lodged in the groove and destroy the rotor and housing anyway?
I took apart an old 12A not too long ago, it had lodged so much carbon under the seals that one of them finally bottomed out and all hell broke loose when it couldn't depress enough.

I don't have any first hand experience; but those who rave about them, say that its a "swap out" matter, when one of them bend...
