I completed the installation yesterday. I also cleaned up the brake calipers and painted them with silver Rustoleum Ultra High Heat paint. I bought front and rear brake hardware kits from Autozone and replaced the brake pad clips which did not come with the Brake Motive kit. I finished the job by bedding in the brake pads to the rotors.

Nice! what a dramatic upgrade - the stock rotors and calipers rust so easily...
I was one of the first few guys to try the Brakemotive kit for the Y50 M and was a little skeptical something so cheap could be of decent quality, but they were quite good, especially for the price.

too bad they don't seem to make them for the 2013 M37 Sport...BUT I have the BBK (big brake kit), so I'm really not complaining.

Thanks! I thought about the BBK for mine, but then I'd have to go with larger wheels too, and I just put tires on the 18's.

Yes!! You are correct, sir Mjkkb

I swear when I looked up brake rotors/pads for the M37 on Fleabay, nothing came up.

I ordered my kit about months ago and it came with the ceramic pads and the clips, looks good. I painted my brake calipers red, they were grey before and they looked bad within about 3-4 months.
