Glad to hear of a "simple" failure.
I would think a rubber hose failure would result in no brakes vs. pushing the piston too far, but that's a good point.

vstech and toomany - good points.
I didnt flat out put in the description initially, but I installed new flex hoses during the job and the rotors are still 12mm thick and not warped (service limit is around 10mm).
