Which Brake Caliper rebuild kits to use (Front specifically)?

Hello everyone. I've been lurking all weekend learning about the VFR, but I really need help sourcing a front brake caliper rebuild kit for a 2002 VFR800ABS I just bought. Wheel doesn't spin enough when in the calipers are mounted (I rocked the forks, it's not binding).

 

I found this one, and it's an amazing price for a FULL SET of rubber for the VFR considering the competition wants $30 a side: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Interceptor-800-2006-2009-Front-Brake-Caliper-Rebuild-Kit-VFR800/263062960869?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

 

I just don't think it works for the 02-05 VFR. It specifically calls out 06-09.

 

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN BRAKE CALIPERS/PISTONS FROM 2005 to 2006 VFR800's?

 

See literally triple the price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/02-09-HONDA-VFR800R-VTEC-INTERCEPTOR-BRAKECRAFT-FRONT-BRAKE-CALIPER-REBUILD-KIT/321730933675?fits=Year%3A2002|Submodel%3AVFR800&hash=item4ae8a873ab:g:x~YAAOSwU-pXrjs4&vxp=mtr

 

But the brake concepts one is for 2002-2009?

 

Please keep opinion of brands bias out of this, I am just looking for a set of caliper rebuild kits. Thank you :).
